—description from the designer

In Mines of Dwarvia, players need to retrieve the Double Arc-in-Stone and exit the mines. Initially, the Double Arc-in-Stone can be found at the center of mine. It is claimed by the first player who reaches it. Other players can then take it by defeating the current holder in combat.

Each player has a character with random characteristics and abilities. Each turn, they may move their characters a number of spaces and cards cards to improve their situation. When a character enters a danger space, their movement ends, and one player may play a danger card that the active player may have to deal with. This may result in combat, which is resolved by rolling dice. At the end of their turn, the player draws one new card, which may be a trap or event that is resolved immediately.

Combat, traps, and events can cause a character to die. When that happens, the player simply creates a new character and starts anew — unless the Double Arc-in-Stone has already been found. In that case, the player is eliminated from the game.

Mines of Dwarvia is played on a board composed of four different rotating sections. At the start of the game, these are placed in a random configuration, creating the board layout.
