Druid Board Game

thingiverse

Designed by Cameron Browne. On a square board, players take turns placing cubes (sarsens) which may be played on the ground or on any piece of your color, and (3x1) rectangles (lintels) which can be placed in such a way that they are supported at both ends and are supported by exactly two blocks of your color and optionally one block of the opponent's color. The space in between can be empty or occupied by a piece of either color. One player is attempting to connect the top and bottom of the board, while the other player is connecting the left and right edges. Connectivity is judged as seen from above, so that higher pieces can cut the connection of lower ones. The game has several variants, including a version played on a hex grid (also playable by three) and both the hexagonal and square versions have a "Druid's Walk" variation in which an additional piece represents a druid out for a stroll. The picture I've used is how we used to play this enjoyable game. I've repurposed Duchmogul's Druid, to be the Druid pawn.
