Rune Rite

A Mystical Flip-and-Write Game of Witches and Fey Power

Unravel your parchment, sharpen your quill and unstopper your inkwell. The time to write the right rite is upon us! This is a tricky bit of magic, so you’ll need to arrange the Runes carefully to create powerful Glyphs. Only when these Glyphs are transcribed properly will the Fey magic awaken!

Rune Rite is an enchanting flip-and-write board game for one-to-five players. With the game’s unique and clever build-your-own-polyomino system, players will attempt to generate patterns and shapes that are most advantageous to their rite while leaving their opponents little to work with. The patterns, when arranged properly, generate Fey Power (victory points). The witch who summons the most Fey Power wins!
