In Covenant, you take on the role of the leader of a dwarven clan house that has sworn an oath to help reclaim Karrak-cüm-Kazar, the sacred mountain and the lost home of the dwarves. After centuries during which dark forces desecrated the ancestral halls, the dwarves return to drive out their enemies and restore the magnificent city. The theme is deeply fantastical, filled with honor, history, and an epic struggle against evil, sure to captivate fans of Tolkien-inspired worlds and strategic games.

Covenant is a medium-to-heavy euro game with a strong focus on action selection and resource management:

The game unfolds over three eras, each with multiple turns, where players assign their dwarves to various tasks. Actions include excavating mountain tunnels, battling enemies, constructing buildings, and restoring halls. Each player develops their clan’s infrastructure, gathers resources, and builds monuments that earn glory points. After each era comes the Dwarven Council, where players gain bonuses and extra points. The winner is the one who, at the end of the game, has accumulated the most glory through buildings, missions, and achievements.

Covenant is a thematically rich and strategically demanding game that combines epic fantasy with tense optimization in the quest to restore the dwarven kingdom. ⛰️
