Dwar7s Spring: Elven Uprising is an expansion for Dwar7s Spring released in 2020 for 2–5 players, 45–80 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Luís Brueh and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Modular Board.
We are the children of the woods, creatures of magic. For centuries we shared this valley, living in peace with our bearded fellows... But their greedy expansion confined monsters to our lands, threatening the very existence of the faeries. This has to change! The elves have a unique empire board featuring asymmetric gameplay. They have no agriculture so you will need to hunt. Special Abilities: Archery - When fighting a monster, elves in adjacent locations also take part in the fight. Faerie Dust - You get faerie cards in the production phase. Faerie Folk - If you build your fortress, ever 2 faerie cards in your hand gives you plus 1VP at the end of the game. Elven Magic - Your faerie power can go up to 3 making your faerie cards even stronger. Dragon King - As a free action, pay 2 gold to replace one of you elves with the Dragon king. When harvesting or fighting, the Dragon King awards you as many hero cards as you have faerie power. Note: Elven Uprising is an expansion that is compatible with Dwar7s Winter too, adding a new tribe to the game.
