About this board game

Tunhell is a family card game for 2–4 players that takes about 40 minutes, in which rival dwarf crews explore mines, gather treasure, and compete for the highest score.

Each player leads a crew of dwarves and takes one turn at a time, proceeding clockwise around the table. On a turn, choose exactly one action: play a Dwarf and resolve its effect, or recruit a Dwarf from the recruitment center.

  • Warriors fight enemies and make access to a mine harder for other players.
  • Scouts secretly look at the first three or five cards of a mine, depending on their Recon Value.
  • Diggers dig in a mine and try to find treasure.
  • Blasters drive every Warrior from a mine away, sending all of them to the discard pile.

When recruiting, take one available Dwarf card from the recruitment center and add it to your hand. Immediately reveal a replacement from the deck so the row returns to five cards. Your hand can contain no more than six cards, making each recruitment choice important.

The game ends as soon as two of the three Mine decks are empty. Players then add the Victory points from their loot and the trophies they obtained. The player with the most points becomes the winner.

With its colorful dwarf roles, contested mines, hidden information, and risky treasure hunts, Tunhell offers a lighthearted adventure where every crew must decide when to recruit, when to fight, and when to dig.
