Rune Stones is a deck-building game with hand management elements, designed by Rüdiger Dorn. In Rune Stones, each card has a unique number. Cards are always played in pairs, with the card having the highest number being removed from the game. Therefore, you need to be careful about when to play each card, as you might be forced to lose your best cards early on.

Players will use their cards to collect diamonds, which they will then transform into powerful artifacts combined with Rune Stones, providing them with unique special abilities until the end of the game. The more artifacts used to create Rune Stones, the more victory points at the end of the game. Each opponent must decide whether to keep something for the ability it provides or to store some points early on.

Players take on the role of druids who will be called upon to prove their magical abilities, summon legendary creatures, and find diamonds. Whoever gathers the most power will win and sit on the throne!
