About the game

What is Ring of Candles

Make a 9-card, 3x3 grid of ally cards that defend you from monsters that set up around the parameter. Banish monsters into candles by making certain patterns on your grid.

Each turn, draw the top card from the face-up deck. If an ally, place it on one of the 9 stacks comprising the ally grid. If a monster, place it on the parameter of the grid. Each ally has a number, colour, and picture that help you meet the condition to banish a monster on the same row or column.

You win if you make a ring of candles by banishing all monsters around the parameter. If your deck runs out before you have a ring of candles, monsters break through and munch your bones.

Designed for solo play, co-op & heads-up capable.
