The clans of Gnomeland compete to achieve wealth and glory. Unfortunately, gnomes are messy and unpredictable. A good gnome leader should manage the clan and improve the village in order to prevail over the opponents and become the most important of Gnomeland.

Each turn in Gnomeland, players can match dice results with the buildings of their villages. By doing this, players can collect resources that can be spent in order to recruit soldiers, build new buildings, and complete missions. After five game rounds, the player with the most victory points wins.
