The game is designed by Daryl Andrews (Caffeine Rush, Back to the Future: OUTATIME). It puts players in the role of heads of dwarven clans, mining for precious minerals to craft jewelry to impress the Dwarven King. Each round, the dwarves go deeper into the mines, searching for bigger rewards. Players benefit from those who went before them as they expand the tunnels. Players can choose to play nicely, or pick each other’s pockets to steal minerals.

The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30 – 45 minutes. MSRP is $34.99.

IDW Games will be releasing The Game: On Fire in November (see “'The Game' Returns, Now 'On Fire'”).
