Very fun, Very thematic. Feels well balanced at every stage of the game and at least in the games i played, there was never a person who didnt feel like they did their part.
After we won, very narrowly we couldnt stop complimenting each other on how we couldnt have won if you didnt do this.... etc

While I'm not usually a fan of cooperative games, this game had me wanting to play it again immediately. It offers an interesting twist on the Forbidden genre by accelerating enemies the more tiles you turn over and more turns you play, creating an interesting tension between wishing to hunker down for safety but needing to progress toward the win condition... Overall a solid indie game, and great addition to the cooperative connoisseur's collection

This game is very simple to learn and has tense gameplay. Good fun with friends but relatively easy. A lot harder when playing by yourself but still extremely fun. While it does have replay value I can see the gameplay loop getting about repetitive, but not so much to spoil the game.

FAQs
When you get additional dice, from the Living Quarters or upgrading at the Blacksmith, can you roll those dice and use them this turn?
No. The only time you roll dice is at the start of the Dwarf phase, any dice you receive during a turn (including gaining a title) are set aside to be rolled next turn.
Are you able to move onto ‘Ruins’ tiles?
Yep! You can move onto and past 'Ruins' tiles.
Enemies block you from using tiles and benefiting from their passives, does this include the Watchtower?
Normally yes, enemies would block all abilities / text on tiles. The ONLY exception to this is the passive ability of the Watchtower, however you can not use the 'Axe Throwers' ability.
The rule book says to flip the turn tracker to the other side. What does this mean?
This was an oversight and left in from a previous test, you can ignore this sentence. Do not flip the turn tracker. Or do it, I can't stop you.
Can Dwarf Nobles (players) share a tile?
Yes!
On your turn, can you use the same action more than once?
Yes! As long as you have dice to spend, you can (and should) keep taking actions until all your dice are spent.
I setup the game, how do I start playing?
You start with the Dwarf phase! Roll your dice and start taking actions on the game board. You can use tiles you are on, as well as orthogonally adjacent. Actions often use dice, so you'll spend them for the turn. Once your done, its the enemies turn. Rinse and repeat until you win or lose!
