Covenant

Covenant: Rebuild the Dwarven Mountain!

For centuries, Karrak-sür-Kazar—the sacred mountain and ancestral home of the dwarven people—has fallen under the yoke of darkness. Its once-glorious tunnels are now overrun by goblins, orcs, and trolls, while its halls and monuments are slowly disappearing beneath the rubble. This outrage has gone on for far too long.

Covenant is a development and management game in which you reclaim and rebuild the Dwarven Mountain. Each player takes on the role of a dwarf clan participating in the quest to restore Karrak-sür-Kazar to its former glory. Dig new passages, drive back the creatures occupying the depths, mine the mountain’s resources, and rebuild the city of your ancestors. But behind this shared goal lies a fierce rivalry: once the mountain has regained its splendor, only the most glorious clan will win King Thorjal’s favor!

How to Play Covenant?

A game of Covenant unfolds over three eras. On your turn, choose one of the dwarves from your clan and assign him to a tool in your forge. The tool determines the action performed, while the dwarf’s strength determines its effectiveness. You can thus:

• Dig to explore the mountain and gain resources.
• Fight the creatures occupying its chambers.
• Transport materials to construction sites or the King’s throne.
• Build houses, workshops, and monuments to restore the ancient city.

As the game progresses, you strengthen your dwarves and forge new tools by adding gems to them to enhance your actions. Each decision allows you to make progress along different paths, complete projects, and prepare for the Council scoring. After the third Council, the clan that has accumulated the most Glory wins the game.
