## Description
Get ready for a druidic duel in DruidenWalzer, a game that will make your head spin! This gem from the Kosmos two-player series puts you in the shoes of a druid tasked with protecting your sacred trees while trying to outwit your opponent. Each tree is inhabited by spirits (represented by cards), and playing them is what initiates the 'Druid's Dance'. The cards circulate around the trees, potentially giving you an extra boost or hindering your plans. The objective? Capture two rival trees, either by winning druid contests or by completely emptying your opponent's trees of their spirits. It's a game of pure strategy, with a touch of Mancala and hand management that demands planning and anticipation. Every move counts in the race for victory, where pattern building and point-to-point movement are crucial to overcoming your opponent. Druidenwalzer is one of those games that, despite its short playtime, offers considerable depth and twists. If you enjoy abstract games with low language dependency that challenge your tactical thinking, this dance might be your next obsession.
