## Description
A Dragon's Gift: Beacons is a solo expansion for the base game A Dragon's Gift by Button Shy. Perfect for fans of quick challenges and fantasy themes involving dragons, this game revolves around lighting beacons along routes. Each lit beacon can attract the dragon but may cost points if unlit. With just 3 new cards, the Beacons expansion is easy to learn and ideal for 15-minute sessions. The gameplay blends strategy and luck, as players decide when and where to light beacons while avoiding directional blockages. Though simple, it offers an engaging experience for card game enthusiasts and resource management fans. The dragon and magical beacon theme adds adventure to its compact format. I highly recommend it for solo players seeking a no-frills challenge, though the beacon blockages might require some strategic thinking. Its short duration and intuitive mechanics make it a great addition to the base game, especially for those familiar with the series.
