The Dwarf King — Prices

Hey board game enthusiasts! How about a trick-taking game that throws you into a dispute between dwarves, goblins, and knights? In The Dwarf King, fun is guaranteed for 3 to 5 players, in quick 40-minute matches. Here's the deal: the game unfolds over seven rounds, and each one has a different twist. The deck has 53 cards, divided into three suits (Dwarves, Goblins, and Knights) and some special cards that add extra flavor. At the start of each round, a special card is drawn, read to everyone, and then shuffled into the deck. This immediately changes the dynamic! The icing on the cake is the twenty contract tiles. The player who gets the 5 of Knights picks one of these tiles, reads the two scoring rules it has, and decides which one will apply for that round. This means that each round, the goals change, and you need to adapt quickly! Whoever holds the 5 of Goblins leads the first trick. The rule is clear: if you can, follow suit. There are no trump cards here, so the highest card of the played suit wins the trick and starts the next one. After all cards have been played, everyone tallies their points (which can be negative, so be careful!), the special card and contract tile are removed from the game, and everything is shuffled again for the next round. At the end of the seven rounds, whoever has the most accumulated points is crowned the Dwarf King! If you enjoy a trick-taking game with a touch of unpredictability and plenty of interaction, The Dwarf King might be your next addiction.
