Walk through ancient forests in the footsteps of fairy folk, past monolithic menhirs, and under strands of mistletoe. Build stone structures, collect herbs, and leave your mark in the sacred wood. Are you the druid who will prove themselves worthy of the ancient ones and bring glory to your forest?
Dive into this fantastic new strategy game from the team behind The Castles of Burgundy, including game designer Stefan Feld. Each turn is a few simple steps: move through the forest to visit shrines and place a die. A unique mechanic means dice are rolled once early on, so players must adapt their strategies around the set values. Dice activate actions: gather provisions, gain knowledge, activate herbs, place runestones, and more. Dice also determine majorities and create networks across the board that unlock bonuses and reap coveted prestige points. With multiple strategies and paths that lead to victory, can you prove yourself worthy of the ancient ones and bring glory to your forest?
Gameplay Overview
Druids of Edora is a richly atmospheric strategy game from the celebrated team behind The Castles of Burgundy, led by designer Stefan Feld — and it brings a genuinely fresh twist to the dice-driven euro genre. Rather than rolling fresh dice each turn, players roll their full set of dice just once near the start of the game, then must build their entire strategy around those fixed values for the rest of play. Each turn, you move through the mystical forest to visit shrines and place a die to trigger actions: gathering provisions, gaining knowledge, activating magical herbs, or placing sacred runestones. Beyond individual actions, dice placements also create majorities and networks across the shared board, unlocking bonuses and prestige points for players who plan their routes carefully. With Feld's signature multi-path design, there's no single dominant strategy — herb-gathering, network-building, and shrine devotion can all lead to victory. A beautifully themed, deeply strategic game for fans of modern heavy euros.
