Hammer Time

About this board game

Hammer Time is a 2020 board game for 2–4 players that takes about 15 minutes to play. Players work in a mine, using a hammer to knock shiny gemstones off a box and collect the treasures needed to complete their tasks.

Each task requires the right number and color of gemstones, so careful collection is essential. The hammer brings an active element to the game: players must knock the gemstones loose without striking too hard.

There is a risk beneath every swing. If anyone knocks too hard, they wake Dragomir the Dragon and lose their loot. Timing and control matter as players try to gather the gemstones they need while avoiding this costly setback.

• For 2–4 players
• Approximately 15 minutes of play time
• Collect shiny gemstones with a hammer
• Complete tasks using specific gemstone colors and quantities
• Avoid waking Dragomir the Dragon

The goal in Hammer Time is to completely fill all four of your wagons. The first player to fill every wagon wins the game, turning each successful strike into progress toward victory and every overly forceful blow into a potential loss.

With its simple objective, tactile hammering action, and push-your-luck danger, Hammer Time centers the entire experience on how boldly—and how carefully—you strike. Gather the correct gemstones, protect your loot, and be the first to load all four wagons.
