About the game
What you do in a play session
Die Zwerge: Königswahl is a fast-paced strategic card game based on Markus Heitz's novel series. The goal? Be the player with the coin in front of you when the game ends, proving you're the future king of the dwarves! The game is simple: each card played can have an immediate effect or be placed in your area to influence the succession. If your cards make you the new heir apparent, the coin changes hands. The game ends when someone runs out of cards or a specific card is triggered. It's a game of bluffing, strategy, and a bit of luck, perfect for fantasy fans and those who enjoy simple yet engaging mechanics.
