How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Point to Point Movement

You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

About This Game

The Noble Dwarf is a special character that adds a fourth ability to the regular Dwarf character from Defenders of the Realm. The extra ability is called 'Dwarven Rum': "When ending your turn at the same location as another Hero, you and the other Heroes present MAY draw 1 Hero Card. If the card drawn matches the color of your Location, the drawing Hero loses 1 Action on their next turn."
