The Game<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Here be Dragons.
One Village.
Many Rivals.<\/h2>\n

Players are dealt five-card hands. Eggs, gems and scrolls must be placed face-up where all rivals can see — and target — them. On your turn, hatch a dragon with the right combination of egg, scroll, and gem, or deploy characters to steal from opponents.<\/p>\n

There are three dragon types: Red (3 pts)<\/strong>, Green (2 pts)<\/strong>, and Blue (1 pt)<\/strong>. First to 12 points wins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Deal Your Hand<\/p>\n

Each player is dealt five cards. All gems, eggs and scrolls must be placed face-up — visible to every rival.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
02<\/div>\n

Draw & Act<\/p>\n

Draw up to five cards, then hatch a dragon or play a character to steal, lure, or disrupt.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
03<\/div>\n

Steal & Scheme<\/p>\n

Orcs steal green eggs, goblins steal red, mugwumps steal blue. Kobolds grab gems, elves grab scrolls.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
04<\/div>\n

Hatch Your Clutch<\/p>\n

Match the color trio to hatch a dragon. A wizard lets you skip the scroll. And of course, trade. First to 12 points wins!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
