Dwarf (2017)

About this game

Played on a dynamic board and featuring emergent cooperative elements, Dwarf is a competitive worker-placement and resource management game for one to three players, or one to five by integrating two copies. Played on a 'board' made up of a grid of cards which changes every round, ensuring that every game is unique, players take turns to place their workers, with the aim of accumulating the most wealth and forging the most legendary items, whilst protecting them from monster attacks.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 3. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
