Dwarven Smithy

Players run cramped workshop tables and manage a hand and tableau to craft goods, acquire tools and gain gold. Turns follow four phases: refine raw metals and gems into usable resources, complete previously crafted guild cards, take up to six repeatable actions (play, craft, move/swap, buy, discard, sell), and draw up to the hand limit. Resources come in three types (metals, gems, runes) and guild cards fall into apprentices, tools, items and special royal commissions. Crafting consumes refined resources or tools, abilities can alter rules or reduce costs, and players may buy cards from opponents or a common warehouse. The game ends when a player fills four royal orders or when key decks deplete; final scoring converts market resources to coins and reveals completed royal items for bonuses. The highest coin total wins.
