In The Dwarves, players immerse themselves in the world of Markus Heitz's bestselling novel of the same name. They team up to defend the Girdlegard together against evil orcs, trolls, and Albae. Each scenario takes up the content from a different volume of the five-part novel series, allowing players to experience the complete saga in a playful way.
Each player takes on the role of one of the heroes from The Dwarves books. All heroes have different attributes and special abilities. When it's their turn, players move across the map, carry out missions, send messages to the council, or fight the armies of evil. Players must successfully complete a fixed number of scenario or saga cards before time runs out or the enemy armies have taken over the Girdlegard.
