Trpasličí údolí Gnome Hollow (CZ)

Product detailed description

Enter the blossoming dwarf world in the board game Dwarf Valley! Grow mushrooms, create magic circles, and protect the village from curious visitors. The magic of nature awaits at every turn.

Dwarf Valley is a poetic family game for 2 to 4 players aged 12 and up. You should allow about 45 minutes for one game. The game is ideal for those looking to combine a visually captivating experience with thoughtful strategy and a pleasant atmosphere.

In the game, you become a pair of meadow dwarves who set out every spring for the Magical Harvest festival. Your task is to work together to grow mushrooms, collect flowers, and create magic circles that will fill you with the magical energy needed to hide your village from the eyes of humans.

During the game, each player selects and places garden tiles that form mushroom paths. The goal is to create closed magic circles that will bring rewards in the form of mushrooms and victory points. The larger the circle you create, the greater the benefits you will receive.

Using dwarves on the game board, you can claim paths, visit the Flower Market, sell mushrooms at the Windmill Market, or activate signposts that bring additional benefits. Combinations of actions often trigger a cascade of effects that greatly enhance your options.

At the end, the player with the most points for flowers, magic circles, and treasures wins. They earn the right to wear the Red Cap and become mayor of the village—at least until the next festival.

Each turn is a poetic garden design, where the harmony of shapes, colors of nature, and subtle magic come together in a single moment, creating a unique experience.

Hand-illustrated pieces and magical motifs create an unforgettable visual impression that will draw you into the world of meadow dwarves from the moment you set up the game.

Simple rules make the game accessible to everyone, while strategic options offer a challenge even to those with extensive board game experience.

Thanks to the random selection of pieces, different signposts, and choice of actions, no two games are the same, encouraging repeated play without feeling repetitive.

Cascading effects reward clever planning and allow for moves that are satisfying both mechanically and aesthetically.

The game avoids direct interaction while maintaining a competitive dynamic—ideal for peaceful players and family gaming.

Collecting flowers, creating magic circles, and trading mushrooms create an elegant interconnected system that rewards diverse play styles.

Precise craftsmanship, high-quality wooden components, and magnetic player boards contribute to a pleasant physical gaming experience.

Poetic texts and well-developed characters give the game a narrative framework that encourages thematic immersion and empathy with the characters.

Suitable for evenings with friends or quiet family afternoons, Gnome Hollow is a game that will delight you with its pace and atmosphere.

The author of Gnome Hollow is American game designer Ammon Anderson, who also created most of the illustrations. The cover was created by American illustrator Patrick Spaziante. The story texts were written by Manny Vega, a screenwriter and author of interactive projects. The game was published by USAopoly in 2024. The Czech localization also took place in 2024, but the game itself is currently in production and will be available in the second half of 2025.
