About this expansion

Defenders of the Realm: The Noble Dwarf is a special character for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes. Released in 2014, it adds a fourth ability to the regular Dwarf character from Defenders of the Realm.

The Noble Dwarf’s extra ability is called Dwarven Rum. When the Dwarf ends their turn at the same location as another Hero, the Dwarf and the other Heroes present may draw one Hero Card.

This optional card draw comes with a potential consequence. If the card drawn matches the color of the location, the Hero who drew the card loses one Action on their next turn.

  • Character: The Noble Dwarf
  • Added ability: Dwarven Rum
  • Players: 1–4
  • Play time: 90 minutes
  • Release year: 2014

By gathering with other Heroes, the Dwarf can offer access to an additional Hero Card. However, the location’s color determines whether the card draw carries a cost, creating a clear choice for each Hero who decides to participate.

Defenders of the Realm: The Noble Dwarf provides a focused character addition built around shared positioning, optional card drawing, and the possibility of losing an Action on the following turn.
