* 
Covenant is a demanding strategy game for 1 to 4 players aged 14 and up, where dwarven clans reclaim their sacred mountain.
What's it about?
The Dwarven King gives the order: take back Karrak-cüm-Kazar, the ancient home of the dwarves. Dark powers have defiled the mountain. Now you lead your clan back to drive them out and rebuild.
How it plays
The game runs over three ages. On your turn you assign the dwarves of your clan to different tasks.
- Dig new galleries into the mountain.
- Defeat the enemies in the halls.
- Build structures and earn glory points.
The clan with the most glory at the end wins.
Who is it for?
At around 100 minutes and high weight, Covenant is clearly for seasoned gamers. From the designer of Bitoku and Sabika, it offers many choices and a solo mode.
- Dice with icons and tools
- Worker placement with zones of control
- Playable solo or up to four
