The Nidavellir gameplay in the universe of Dwarves

Set in the universe of the Dwarves comic series and utilizing the acclaimed Nidavellir gameplay mechanics, Dwarves of Aquilon challenges you to unite a fractured people . Once united under an emperor, the dwarves are now divided into rival fortress-states . As a Lord, your goal is to recruit the most skilled dwarves and the bravest Fighters to assert your dominance over the lands of Arran.

Strategic Coin-Building Gameplay To build the most powerful army, you must bid on dwarf cards in the taverns. Success relies on a unique "Coin Building" system:

• Bidding: Simultaneously place coins on taverns to determine the pick order.
• Upgrading: Strategically trade your lower-value coins for higher-value gold from the Royal Treasury to increase your future purchasing power.

Assemble the Five Orders You must gather ranks from the five dwarven Orders: The Forge, The Retaliation, The Temple, The Shield, and the outcast Order of the Wanderers.

• Recruit Heroes: By completing a row of ranks containing one dwarf from each Order, you trigger the recruitment of powerful Hero Fighters to join your cause.
• Two Eras of Play: The game spans two Eras, where you must adapt your strategy to the changing availability of recruits.

Victory: At the end of the second Era, the Lord who has gathered the most prestigious army and achieved the highest Bravery value wins the game and reigns over the region.
