An evil summoner is calling forth ancient dragons to attack the peaceful kingdom of Pixel! As the dragons storm the kingdom, combine body sections until complete dragons are created.

Thwart their attempts by using chains to protect dragon sections you have already conquered and keep them on the battlefield so they can’t be lured away... Decide the right time to make your moves. Rid the kingdom of these evil beasts & earn the most points to win!
