NEW RULES! 
 

● POCKETS  
He is very near... so you may now magically reach into the Whisker Wizard’s pocket, pinching his 
powers to boost your actions in the game! (See ​ALL ABOUT POCKETS!​ below.) 
 
Before Set-up:​ Shuffle all eight Pockets to form a deck with the “Wizard Side” (showing the Whisker 
Wizard glowing pocket) facedown. Each Dwarf draws one Pocket randomly*. Place it closeby on the 
“Dwarf Side” (showing the Dwarf glowing pocket) without looking at the Wizard Side, ​yet​. Remove the 
remaining Pockets from the game. 
During Set-up: ​When the Whisker Wizard clips a card from your Deck, place it directly over your 
Pocket card positioned vertically, facedown (without looking at it). 
 
*Instead of randomly drawing a Pocket card, each Dwarf may take the version of their choice. 
You may choose to show the Wizard Side to the other Dwarf or keep it secret until revealed during 
the game. 
Alternatively, each Dwarf takes the SAME version for balance & no surprises. 
 
● “NO-TANGLES!” 
Sprouting another spell, the Whisker Wizard makes it harder to Stash Silver! 
 
If you add a Beard card to your Fuzzy-Column that is the same Year as the other Dwarf’s lowest Year 
Beard card, both Dwarfs are now “Tangled”. 
While Tangled, neither Dwarf may continue to Stash additional Silver! 
 
● THE PLUCK! ACTION 
When you ​PLUCK!​, you may swap a card from your Hand with the card in your Pocket. Do not discard 
any cards when you ​PLUCK!​ this way. 
 
● YOUR HAND OF FIVE 
​ ore​ than FIVE cards in your hand at the ​end​ of your turn, instead of drawing more 
If you EVER have m
cards, discard until you have five. 
 
ALL ABOUT POCKETS!

You must always have a facedown card “in” your Pocket! Immediately after playing a card from your 
Pocket, replace it with a card from the top of your Deck WITHOUT looking at it. You may peek at it the 
NEXT​ time you flip your Pocket over to the Wizard Side. 
 
★ While your Pocket is on the Dwarf Side: 
● You cannot use or look at the card in it (unless you use a ​PLUCK!​ action to swap this card for 
another card in your Hand.) 
● All Stashed Silver and cards on your Beard with the Glowing Silver Icon (Lost Silver & Braid 
RIng) are each worth 5 ​ 0​ Years. 
● At the start of your turn, take one Stashed Silver from your Beard and add it to your Hand 
then flip your Pocket card over to the Wizard Side.  
★ While your Pocket is on the Wizard Side:  
● You may perform ONE of the boosted actions printed and also choose to play the card in it as 
if that card was in your Hand. You are still limited to the usual amount of actions you can take 
per turn​ ​(P
​ LUCK!​ ​twice,​ G
​ ROOM!​ once &​ G
​ ROW!​ ​once). 
● Stashed Silver and cards on your Beard with the Glowing Silver Icon (Lost Silver & Braid RIng) 
are each worth Z ​ ERO​ Years. 
● At the end of your turn, you MUST flip your Pocket card back over to the Dwarf Side. 
 

The Dwarf Side (Left) and a Magic Comb Version of the Wizard Side (Right) 

PICK-PLUCK! ​(All eight Pockets) 

When you ​PLUCK!​, instead of discarding from your Hand, you may also choose to discard your 
Very-Bottom card or the card in your Pocket. 
If you discard from your Pocket, you must replace it with a card from your Hand immediately after 
drawing a new card. 
 
COMBO-GROW!​ ​(All eight Pockets) 
When you ​GROW!​, you may add TWO Beard cards (following the Very-Bottom Rule), o
​ nly​ if they are 
the ​same​ Year. 

GRATUITOUS-GROOM!​ ​(Two of each) 

When you ​GROOM!​ using the Grooming card indicated on your Pocket (Magic Comb, Scissor Slice, 
Purplish Potion or Axe Whack), pay ​ZERO​ Silver to activate. 
 
NOTE: You can keep this boosted G​ ROOM!​ action secret from the other Dwarf until you use it, just 
keep the card in your Pocket placed over it! 
 
NEW SOLO RULES! 
 
Assign the Ghost Beard any Pocket after you have yours. The Ghost Beard can never flip its Pocket over… so 
each Stashed Silver is worth ​50​ Years instead of ​25​ for the entirety of the game. 
The Ghost Beard’s Clipped card is placed “in” its Pocket and left untouched unless you discard 1 Silver to 
peek at it, anytime during your turn. 
 
Wizard Visit​: You can use it if you can pay Silver just as you would the Magic Comb and Purplish Potion. 
Razor Scrape​: It is always used against you when drawn. Then if there are any Stashed Silver on the Ghost 
Beard, discard 2 just as you would the Scissor Slice and Axe Whack. 
 

TOURNAMENT RULES! 
Playing time may be increased by 5-15 minutes when adding these. Try one or any 
combination of these optional rules below for an even fuzzier good time! 
 
TAKE-THIS! 
If the other Dwarf plays a Scissors, Axe or Razor card on your Beard- you may immediately whip out a 
matching card from your Hand to cancel it. Both dwarfs must discard the Grooming card used. (The 
other dwarf gets to keep their Silver intended to pay for it.) 
 
FAST FACE 
Both Dwarfs begin the game with their Face card on the Scruff (300 Years) side! Jumpstart the pace 
for the race to 1,000 Years of Beard. P
​ laying time may not be affected when adding this rule but 
expect some games to be shortened. 
 
DUSTPAN DUEL 
There is ​no​ maximum to the number of cards you can have in your Dustpan before emptying it. Each 
time you skip your turn will only remove ONE card (of your choice) from your Dustpan. 
 
You may fill your Dustpan by using a P​ LUCK!​ action to take your Very-Bottom card and place it in 
your Dustpan. You may empty your Dustpan with a CLEAN SHAVE. Discard all Dustpan cards along 
with your Beard cards. 
 
When you empty your Dustpan by playing all five cards in your Hand in a single turn, (before 
discarding) take any of the Dustpan cards you like and add them to your Hand. You still get the 
bonus of adding ONE card to your Beard following the Very-Bottom Rule. Draw up to 5 cards if 
needed. 
 
 
SILVER SITUATION ​(Choose one.) 
 
1. SILVER SCARCITY 
Remove 1 Silver card from each Dwarf Deck before game setup! Set them out of reach, 
but remember to return them to the decks when shuffling up a new game. Remove 2 
Silver cards for an even more challenging (and perhaps longer) game.  

2. SILVER STOCKPILE 
 Treat ALL Grooming cards as if they have a Glowing Silver Icon! They can be used to 
pay to ​GROOM! ​but can’t be Stashed. Example: you may activate a Magic Comb card by 
discarding a Scissor Slice card to pay for the cost.
