The Dwarves: The Duel

About this board game

The Dwarves: The Duel is a two-player game with a playing time of 40 minutes, released in 2015. One player takes the role of the little hero, while the other leads the enemies of the country.

Both players use card decks with identical values, but the cards feature alternative artwork and naming. This gives each side a distinct presentation while keeping the underlying values the same. The enemy player also relies on both skill and the luck of the dice when leading the forces opposing the hero.

The result is a focused duel built around two contrasting roles. One player stands with the little hero, while the other commands the enemies of the country, creating a direct contest between the game’s opposing sides.

• Players: 2
• Playing time: 40 minutes

The Dwarves: The Duel also contains The Dwarves: The Triumph of the Dwarves, which adds new adventures for The Dwarves. These adventures let players re-enact events from the novel The Triumph of the Dwarves, released in German in 2015.

With its two-player format, contrasting roles, matching card values, and dice-based uncertainty, this 2015 title presents a compact way to experience the world of The Dwarves through a dedicated duel and additional adventures.
