Carnuta

A Tense and Tactical Druidic Race
2-5

Welcome to the annual ceremony that brings together druids from the most distant lands.

Eight secret ingredients have been chosen. It’s up to you to combine them with care, assemble your runes, and create the most powerful potion to claim the coveted title of Druid of the Year.

Day, Night, Day, Night...

Day, Night, Day, Night...

At the heart of Carnuta lies an innovative Sun / Moon double-sided rune system. These runes—both tactile and visually striking—drive every decision in the game. Flipping, discarding, or accumulating them quickly becomes a rewarding strategic puzzle. Easy to teach yet rich in possibilities, this core mechanic appeals equally to casual players and seasoned tacticians.
