About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more medieval action with the Crossbows and Catapults: Dragon expansion! If you already enjoy the basics of throwing pieces and knocking down enemies, this little box adds a new member to your combat collection: a green dragon! It functions like a catapult, but some say it's even more accurate – who knows? In addition to the dragon, you get extra warriors and special caroms (those discs you throw), including wizard caroms, which bring extra rules to make the game even more interesting. This expansion can be used to boost your base Crossbows and Catapults game or even to create a simpler, quicker duel using only its components. It's a great addition for those who want more variety and a touch of fantasy on the battlefield without overcomplicating the rules. Your kids will love the novelty, and you might even be surprised by the dragon's aim. It's guaranteed fun for anyone who enjoys dexterity games with a medieval and fantasy theme.
