What is Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves
Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves is a dual-deck strategic card game for two-plus players which sees fantasy races engage in dynamic, tactical card battles.
Orcs versus Dwarves was the first Lords of War game to be released, in December 2012, at the Dragonmeet Game Fair in London. The game went on to win the Best Strategic Card Game Award at the UK Games Expo 2013, along with Lords of War: Elves versus Lizardmen.
During Lords of War battles players use hands of 6 units, drawn from their total 'army' of 36 cards, playing one card per turn at the start of their turn.
Cards have unique formations of Attack Arrows on their edges and corners signifying which adjacent cards they attack once played, and the damage they will do. Some cards also have Ranged Attack values. Each card then has a Defence value which, when exceeded by attacking cards, sees that card defeated.

Juego de cartas para 2 jugadores, versus de una facción contra otra (hay 3 cajas en total, ésta y 2 más, habiendo hasta ahora 6 facciones en total). Sencillísimo de aprender a jugar y con más miga de lo que parece, es un juego completamente táctico más que estratégico, con un azar también alto teniendo en cuenta las cartas que te van saliendo. Me encanta el formato mini reducido, ocupando justo el espacio necesario, junto con un tablero doblado en papel en la caja, que no es imprescindible para jugar (es más, recomiendan jugarlo también sin tablero, puesto se concibió así), pero el apoyarte e
