Dwarven Miner

About this board game

Dwarven Miner is a push-your-luck crafting game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Players venture underground to collect resources, then transform those materials into equipment for powerful dwarf patrons.

Each turn, roll six custom dice to discover what can be pulled from the mine. The push-your-luck challenge helps determine how many resources you can gather, creating a tense balance between seeking more materials and preparing to use what you have already found.

Collected resources can be crafted into a variety of useful and fantastic gear. Your workshop may produce armor, magic wands, mithril swords, and other items needed by the patrons who have selected you to outfit their adventurous, mystical, and often dangerous professions.

• Mine for resources by rolling six custom dice.
• Craft equipment, including armor, magic wands, and mithril swords.
• Satisfy patrons such as warriors, rune singers, alchemists, and chieftains.
• Activate patrons to earn points and gain special abilities that affect the game.

Every patron demands a different combination of crafted items. Once you make the required gear, you can activate that patron, earning points while adding a special ability to your game. Choosing which resources to pursue and which patrons to complete gives each expedition a clear goal.

In Dwarven Miner, successful crafting is the path to victory. The first player to satisfy enough patrons to reach 30 points wins, so push your luck in the mine, build the right gear, and outfit the dwarves who can carry you to victory.
