The King of the Dwarves has finally issued a decree to the houses of all clans: Karrak-sür-Kazar, the sacred mountain and ancestral home of the dwarves since the First Age of Beard, must be reclaimed. For too long, it has been haunted by the poison of the dark lords, whose creatures desecrate the halls that once housed the noblest of all dwarves. The taint cannot endure. The dwarves return to the mountain!

Designed by Germán P. Millán (author of Bitoku, Sabika, and Men Nefer) and illustrated by Enrique Fernández, Covenant can be played solo or with up to four players aged 14 and up, in sessions lasting approximately 100 minutes. In Covenant, each player leads a dwarven clan that has made a pact to reclaim their ancestral home. Over the course of three rounds, known as eras, each clan contributes to the reconstruction of the lost city, conquered and destroyed by dark forces centuries ago.

During their turns, players assign the dwarves of their clan to various tasks. They explore the ancient halls, drive out their enemies, and rebuild their home. At the end of the game, the clan with the most fame receives the monarch's recognition and takes victory.

Dwarf tokens and tools allow players to do all sorts of things: excavate the mountain, defeat the enemies that dwell there, and construct various buildings that bring light back to the ancient halls. Once all clan turns have been completed, the council meets; there, players retrieve their dwarves, earn benefits, and accumulate fame for various aspects of the game. Will your clan be able to restore the lost glory of the dwarves?
