Dwarf King’s Hold: Dead Rising

About this board game

Dwarf King’s Hold: Dead Rising is a two-player game with a playing time of approximately 45 minutes, pitting stalwart Dwarves against the undead forces of the necromancer Mortibris.

The game takes place in the echoing tunnels of an ancient Dwarf Hold. Its generations of ancestral tombs attract the Undead, while the Dwarves seek to reclaim their lost home and oppose the forces threatening it.

Across six linked scenarios, players use the included tiles to create a different board for each battle. Each scenario places a number of miniatures on the board, which players move across the tunnels and use to fight opposing warriors or minions while pursuing the scenario’s objective.

The scenarios build on one another, leading to a huge and desperate final battle. The outcome will ultimately decide who controls the King’s Hold, making the campaign a steadily escalating struggle between the Dwarf defenders and the living dead.

• One player controls Mortibris and his undead forces.
• The other player controls the Dwarves defending their ancestral home.
• Six scenarios use the game’s tiles to create different battle boards.
• The set includes 32 plastic figures: five Dwarf Ironclad Warriors, two Shieldbreakers, one Dwarf Mastiff, twelve Skeletons, ten Revenants, and two Skeletal Hounds.

With its opposing forces, scenario-based progression, and evocative tomb-filled setting, Dwarf King’s Hold: Dead Rising offers a focused confrontation over the fate of an ancient stronghold.
