About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an epic adventure in Dragon Farkle, where the peace of the realm of Yon has been brutally disrupted by a grumpy and hungry dragon! This monster is terrorizing the locals and, even worse, eating their livestock without permission. But don't worry, because you and other aspiring heroes are ready to take on the challenge and put an end to this creature. Your mission? Enter the dragon's keep, but not before preparing properly.
To stand a chance against this beast, you'll need to gather an army of loyal soldiers — or, if you're clever, steal them from your opponents. Furthermore, recruit companions with somewhat suspicious appearances and collect items that are, theoretically, useful (but don't worry, most aren't even cursed!).
The game is a fun mix of dice rolling and 'push your luck,' where every decision can lead you to glory or a disastrous 'farkle.' You'll need to manage your hand of cards wisely, choose your dice shrewdly, and decide when to stop rolling before luck abandons you. With variable player powers, each game offers a unique experience. So, are you ready to fight for cheese and country, or will you flee from the dragon like a coward? The choice is yours!
