The Dwarf King moves around his kingdom amongst the imps. In Zwergenkönig, players play as dwarves that strive to become the Dwarf King. The board has a maze of tracks. Players roll and move through the labyrinth trying to get four different treasures from the goblins hiding in the trees. The trees have holes in them, through which you can see through the board. Below the board, a rotating disk shows goblins with different items so their faces appear in some of the trees. Players move toward the trees; if they reach one with a goblin, they say a short verse and claim the treasure item. Afterward, the disk is rotated so the goblins appear in different trees. The player that first collects all four treasures becomes the Dwarf King and wins the game. Ages 4 and up
