Dwar7s Winter is a hand-building, resource management game with tower defence elements in the gameplay.

You built and defended your kingdom, and now that winter is here, you need to battle the harsh elements and chillingly scary monsters. Each player wants to achieve more victory points, but the only way to survive the winter is to work together.

Each turn of the game is one week and the gameplay is divided into 4 Phases:

Phase 1: Winter is here!

At the beginning of this phase, monsters try to take over your castle. You first move any existing monsters 1 step closer to your castle, then apply their special abilities, and finally spawn new monsters based on the number of players.



After the monsters, natural disasters hit your town. Reveal a new disaster and resolve it.

Phase 2: Build your hand



Everybody starts the game with the same cards in their hand. During the course of the game you can hire more mercenaries and upgrade your deck. At the beginning of each turn you choose 7 cards from your personal deck to play.

Form your strategy and choose your cards wisely!

Phase 3: Follow the music



Every player has 5 actions points that can be used to perform any combination of the various actions: Play Music, Place/Move Dwarfs, Attack Monster, Resolve Disaster, Hire Mercenaries etc.

Phase 4: Check winning or losing conditions!



If you have X+2 Disasters active (X equals the number of players) or a Monster is in your castle, then you lose the game!

If this is the end of the 7th week and you manage to not lose your Castle or be overwhelmed by disasters, then you survived the Winter... and the first signs of Spring finally appear.

Gatekeeper is an intense 2-player card game that has you pitched against an opponent in a duel.

When positioning a witch of a specific element at a location, columns are formed. A new witch will compare her spellpower with that of the opposing witch, with the higher value "dazzling" the weaker party. In dazzled state, witches are vulnerable for the vicious Gatekeeper that is now activated by the Gatekeeper value on the last played witch, moving X-number of locations in a set cycle movement. In the location she lands in, she will check if a dazzled witch is present and eliminate her from the contest.



Next, she will activate a rondel and move a marker to the next position, activating the next Element Gate in line.

By activating the gate she awakens all the witches of this element present at the location, triggering a larger scale confrontation, with the player holding majority inflicting damage equal to the number of withes they have present. The defending player can however fend off part of the attack with opposing witches.



Each witch also cast 1 of 10 unique special spells, each manipulating parts of the duel in devious ways. This additional layer creates tough decisions in an already challenging duel of wits.

Will you control the Astral plane by lowering the mana level of your opponent to "0"?

Card Tactics is (supposed to be) a challenging game. Not only your will team of heroes and items enable different strategies, but events will also “mess up” the course of the adventure. Learning the enemy’s skills and patterns is the key to success - and that takes some time. Experience, strategy and the ability to anticipate the enemy’s actions will exponentially raise the chances of victory.



Your objective is to win five increasingly difficult combats using chosen heroes. Items and events will add options and unexpected challenges. The game ends if at any point all heroes reach zero health.
