Read the full game description

Players compete as dragon riders using special cards to advance to the finish, while dodging attacks like ballista bolts and flaming balls. The victor wins the treasure - and even more priceless - a place in dragon-racing history! The goal is to race from start to finish using a handful of cards to make strategic choices. Special cards that block other players' actions mean you must pay attention - even when it is not your turn. With the ability to steal other players' cards and cards that are character-specific, sudden and significant reversals of fortune are common. Winning is never a foregone conclusion.
