About the game
Get ready for a compact adventure with Keltis: Der Weg der Steine Mitbringspiel, a standalone and super portable version from the acclaimed Keltis universe! Here, the idea of creating numerical sequences meets a delightful dash of 'push-your-luck'. The goal is simple: collect colored tiles, numbered 0 to 10, to form ascending or descending paths. But beware, for each color, you need to decide whether you'll go up or down in the sequence, and once the second tile is placed, that decision is locked in! For example, if you pick a blue 2 and then a blue 4, you can only add blue tiles from 5 to 10 from then on.

On each turn, you have a crucial choice: take a visible tile from the center of the table and add it to your tableau, or flip a face-down tile and decide whether to keep it or incorporate it into your collection. Some special tiles have symbols that grant you an extra turn immediately, which can completely change the game's direction! The game ends when the final tile is flipped and the current player finishes their turn.

But it's not just about collecting! You lose points if you have too few tiles of a color or if you don't collect enough wishing stones, which are scattered across multiple colors. At the end, you sum up the score from all five colors, the wishing stones, and any bonuses on the collected tiles. Whoever has the highest score wins! It's a quick, strategic game perfect for taking on any trip.
