A new threat stirs beyond the Grove, and the Ancients must be awakened once more. As Grovewarden, you tend the flow of Dreamseeds through the Grove, performing attuned awakening rituals to rouse each slumbering Ancient from the dream world. These rituals must be carried out with care, as balance within the Grove is fragile and its resources finite. Only through careful stewardship can the Ancients rise in time to defend the realm and restore harmony to the land.
Awaken the Ancients is a solo-only, mancala-style strategy puzzle set in a living fantasy world. You play as the Grovewarden distributing Dreamseeds throughout the Grove to perform attuned awakening rituals on slumbering Ancients so they may rise to defend the realm. Included scenarios introduce new circumstances to the Awakening, adding components and rules that change how the base game is played.
