THE DWARF KING is a card game as intense as it is engaging! This trick-taking game introduces new rules each deal, making every game different. Take your cards, choose the quests that work with your hand, and watch out for special cards that will spice things up! The game is played over seven rounds. At the start of a round, the dealer randomly draws one special card, reads it to all the players, shuffles it into the deck, then deals the deck out evenly to all players. (The dealer for the first round is the game's owner; for subsequent rounds, the dealer is the one who took the 5 of Dwarves in the previous round.) The player who receives the 5 of Knights draws a contract tile, reads it, then chooses one of the two scoring rules on it to apply for that round.
