How to play Dwarfs F2P: Skirmish Pack on Mac

Game summary

This is the Skirmish Pack for Dwarfs. It adds in the following 3 extra modes for you to play: Sandbox - here is your chance to create your own caves and populate them with whatever bad guys you feel like! Rush Mode - digger dwarfs will continuously spawn, without pause. Dark Mode - if the standard Arcade mode is not enough of a challenge for you (or you just want life for your Dwarfs to be a little bit more scary) then play this mode. In this mode, the unexplored sections of the map are ALL dark - nothing is marked for you. Send your dwarfs forth to explore and collect gold and loot. Or die. Or both, of course!

Play Dwarfs F2P: Skirmish Pack on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Dwarfs F2P: Skirmish Pack on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
