⚒️ Covenant – The fantasy board game that celebrates the return of the dwarves

Strategy, construction, and legend in the new masterpiece by Germán P. Millán, published by Devir Games

Imagine a silent mountain. The empty halls of an ancient dwarven civilization, the extinguished torches, the forgotten corridors. Then, a call: “Come back.” In Covenant , the new fantasy strategy board game by Germán P. Millán published by Devir Games , that call comes to life. It's a title that asks you to return home and rebuild it with ingenuity, honor, and courage.

Each player leads a clan of dwarves bent on reclaiming Karrak-sür-Kazar , the sacred mountain desecrated by darkness. Across three Ages of gameplay, you explore, build, fight, and reclaim lost glory. Covenant is a board game for 1–4 players , with an average playing time of 90–100 minutes , recommended for ages 14 and up . It's an experience that blends strategy, storytelling, and epic flair in a modern, immersive experience.

The author Germán P. Millán (already famous for Bitoku and Sabika ) has built a world where every action becomes a story: digging tunnels, forging weapons, fighting the darkness. Its mechanics breathe the atmosphere of the mountain, the sound of the hammers and the tension of the choices.

🪓 Inside the Mountain: Gameplay Mechanics and Pacing

Covenant is divided into three Ages , each representing a period of rebuilding of the sacred mountain. Players use a system of worker placement and majorities to place their dwarves, manage resources, forge artifacts, and reactivate ancient forges.

The most original aspect is the balance between tactical choice and risk management : Each action space is shared, and the timing of your action can change your entire turn. Building cards and galleries unlock chains of bonuses and synergies that push you to plan long-term, but without ever losing the tension of the moment.

The solo mode is also remarkable: the bot does not simulate any opponent, but the mountain echo — an entity that reacts and changes the board, forcing you to think like a time craftsman. A true strategic meditation for those who play alone.

🎨 The art that sculpts the legend

Enrique Fernández Peláez 's illustrations transform each component into a living sculpture. The mountain's rooms, buildings, characters and objects exude warmth and weight: Metal, fire and stone blend together in an aesthetic that makes every game a visual ritual. It is a fantasy board game that is looked upon with respect, like a fresco from the past.

Each board is a window into an ancient world, and each card seems to tell a fragment of history: the promise that nothing is lost, if it is forged with care.
