About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an elven twist in Dwar7s Spring! This expansion brings the magical forest dwellers to your board, introducing a new tribe with a completely asymmetric playstyle. Forget farming, as the elves rely on hunting to survive and thrive.

With the Elves, you'll gain access to unique, game-changing abilities. Archery allows nearby allies to join in monster fights, while Faerie Dust grants you special cards during the production phase. If you're building your fortress, every two faerie cards in hand are worth extra points at the end of the game! And with Elven Magic, your faerie power can reach up to 3, boosting your cards even further.

But the fun doesn't stop there! The Dragon King ability lets you swap an elf for the fearsome Dragon King as a free action, granting massive bonuses during harvests and fights. This expansion not only adds a new tribe full of tricks but is also compatible with Dwar7s Winter, further expanding the possibilities. If you're looking for a gameplay experience with more strategy, interaction, and a touch of elven magic, this expansion is for you! Prepare to hunt, cast, and dominate with the Elves!
