About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to appease a dragon in the solo game "A Dragon's Gift"! Your mission is to help the craftspeople of a peaceful village prepare a worthy gift for the creature dwelling atop the mountain. Each year, a special present is offered to ensure the village's tranquility, and this year, the responsibility falls on you. You'll need to manage resources and build the game map by adding cards, connecting roads, and ensuring each villager receives the necessary supplies. Utilize existing routes or special transports to optimize your deliveries. As you progress, villagers will offer higher-quality goods, essential for assembling the final gift. Combine the three high-quality components to create the ultimate present and earn the dragon's approval. It's a quick game, perfect for those seeking an engaging and thematic solitary experience, with a touch of fantasy and resource management.
