What to Expect

In 10 Dwarves, players take on the roles of dwarves from the Snow White novel. Each player has a character card with a one-time special ability. On your turn, you draw two face-down cards, keep one, and return the other. You then explain how the two cards relate, such as which is higher. Before drawing, you can guess the card another player holds. The game continues only if the sequence is correct.

Who Is This Game For?

This game suits families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy quick cooperative card games. Its simple mechanics and short duration of about 10 minutes make it accessible without prior experience. It is not a complex or expert-level game.
