Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace is a two-player game in which one player controls the vicious and brutal Orcs, and the other player controls the Noble Elves who oppose them. The game is set in the echoing tunnels of an ancient Dwarf Hold in which are entombed many of the ancestral relics of the Elves, won in battle between their ancestors and those of the Dwarfs. The Elves are trying to recover these artifacts; the Orcs are simply out for gold and a good fight! The game includes six new scenarios, each of which uses the tiles provided with the game to create a different board. In each scenario you control a number of miniatures representing your warriors, which you move across the board and use to fight your opponent's miniatures to achieve the scenario's objective. The variable nature of the scenarios means that each poses different challenges for both sides. Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace includes 29 plastic figures: six Orc Ax Warriors, two Orc Greatax warriors, ten Elf Spearmen, ten Elf Bowmen and one sabre-toothed pussy cat. Dwarf King's Hold: Green Menace is a complete, stand-alone game that includes everything you need to play. Integrates with: Dwarf King's Hold: Dead Rising
