Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest Kickstarter launches on Monday 4th August 2014 at 1:30pm BST

Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest is the dungeon adventure board game for 2-5 players. The heroes must battle their way through 6 exciting scenarios, growing in strength and acquiring magical items, before eventually facing off against the Necromancer in a final exciting showdown between good and evil.
Will you fight back against the hordes of darkness, or will you let evil prevail?

The runes also unlocked a secret passkey:

Hjalgeir

Enter this Dwarfen password to discover more about Dungeon Saga and the secrets within… ( and watch out, mystic magic surrounds the passkey makes it case sensitive)

I’m looking forward to this. I have played Dwarf King’s hold twice now and find it enjoyable. Ronnie has an interview with Beasts of war that explains the game in much more detail. I think my favorite part is how they stage the learning.
