Dwarf Mine is a game about drawing and designing a mine, uncovering treasure, and surviving the dangers of the mountain.
In Dwarf Mine, you will draw your mine on graph paper, roll dice to determine what gold, gems, or other treasure you’ve discovered, and (hopefully) defeat monsters in combat, keeping your mine alive and thriving!
By the end of the game, you’ll have created rich and unique history for your mine – no two games are the same!
You can find the Mine Sheet and Mountainscape (Free), as well as purchase links for the game below!
