The Dwarves
Work together as dwarven heroes to defend Girdlegard from orcs, trolls, and dark elves while evil spreads through the land. Each player controls a dwarf with unique abilities and spends two action points per turn to fight, travel, influence the dwarven council, or complete minor and major quests. Dice-driven challenges determine the success of most actions. Players must contain the advancing forces of evil and complete the major quests in time, or the land is overrun.

Garfield2.0 Quite boring luckfest. It all depends on rolling dice over and over again. And you can't do much to improve the character skills. Boring equipment. Big disappointment.
