Dwarfstar Games

Dwarfstar Games was a division of Heritage Models that published microgame-sized fantasy and science fiction board wargames in the early 1980s. They typically came with 12"x14" fold-out cardstock mapboards and 154 thin die-cut counters. The demise of its parent company also meant the end for Dwarfstar.

Reception

Steve List reviewed the first four games from Dwarfstar Games in Ares Magazine #12 and commented that "one is outstanding, one quite good and the others somewhat underwhelming. But [for the price] they are not too much of an investment."[1]
