From the back of the box: In the dragon's vaults... The ancient dragon lifts her head from where she lies on the sprawling treasure hoard. Her magical senses quicken and the blood begins to surge in her veins as the faint sounds of intruders reach her ears. Greedy adventurers have invaded her home once again! Drakon is old and tired and is not quite ready for dinner, so she decides to play a little game with her visitors... Greed Will Set You Free! You are trapped in the dark magical vaults of the evil dragon, and only one of your party will survive. Collect as much gold as you can carry and be the first to escape the magical vaults. Otherwise, you're dinner! DRAKON is an entertaining boardgame of chases, tricks, and traps. Build Drakon's vaults tile-by-tile as you race for the prize and attempt to thwart your opponents's every move.
