Dolmen(götter) — How to Play and Is It a Gem?

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

In (Die) Dolmen(götter), by Thomas Odenhoven & Eggert, players create stone circles by moving their druid pawns around the board and dropping menhirs as they go. When enough stones are around, players with the most can place blocks of hidden values in a stack, with blocks higher in the stack being multiplied for the most points. While the game has NO LUCK, no dice or card play, the secret placement of blocks keeps one from analysing too hard. It's a unique combination of open-info gameplay and hidden-info scoring that makes it simultaneously casual and intriguing. 00:00 Intro ▶️ 03:00 How to Play 🎲 12:56 Is It a Gem? 💎 There are two editions, both not particularly easy to find in English-speaking markets.
