In The Dwarves: The Duel, one player takes the role of the little hero while the other uses both skill and the luck of the dice to lead the enemies of the country. Both players use card-decks with identical values but alternative artwork/naming. The Dwarves: The Duel also contains The Dwarves: The Triumph of the Dwarves - new adventures for The Dwarves so that players can re-enact the events of the novel The Triumph of the Dwarves, which was released in German in 2015.
