carnuta
Welcome to Carnuta, the annual druidic ritual!
Thank you all for traveling so far from your distant lands.
As is tradition, we’ve organized a potion contest to elect the druid of the year.
So, ready your sickles… and let the competition begin!
A game of Carnuta plays over a series of turns. On your turn, you will take 2 actions,
the same or different, out of the 4 possible. The goal of the game is to create
a potion by playing cards in front of you. Each card is worth points depending
on the ingredients in your potion. The game ends once one player plays
an 11th card in front of them.
Optimize the combinations of your ingredients to gain the highest score
and win the game!

Rules summary
Game Play
Perform two of the four possible actions. They can be different or same actions twice.
1) Take a card into your hands. Hand limit is 3.
2) Play a card from your hand. Paying (discarding) or flipping the corresponding runes listed on the top of the card.
A swoosh and an arrow means to flip the rune. “X” means to discard the runes.
3) Take runes from reserve. Can take up to as many runes with the same symbol as available from the reserve up to your limit.
4) Flip as many runes of the same symbol as you like to the other side.
Game Board
Placing your 4th card into your tableau will open up your 5th slot for runes and 8th card will open up the 6th slot.
Placing your 6th and 10th card will allow you to pick a token from the reserve. A token adds to your count of that symbol.
Other
Playing a sickle on your turn allows you to refresh one of the two rows of your choice.
Game End
Game end is triggered by one player adding the 11th card to their tableau. The round is finished and another around is played.
Scores are determined by the scoring condition of each card. Player with the highest score wins the game.
