About the game
In 10 Dwarves, you're playing as characters from the novel Snow White. All players have a character card with a special ability that is a one-time use. The players take turns drawing two cards from the table, choosing to keep one card and return the other to the table, both cards face-down. Then the player must say how the two cards relate to each other; like "this card is higher then that card". Before a player draws cards, the player can guess what number another player has in front of them. If the card is the next card in order (going from 0 to 9), the players continue to play; otherwise, all players lose the game.
