A parlor game wherein you take on the role of a council of dwarves desperately carving out their home within an ancient mountain. Its play can be a vital tool for localized worldbuilding, but is best done in a casual manner among close friends. A calm, slow game of strategy, conversation, and shoddy cartography; a story of dwarves, glory, and ruin.
