About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready for a trip back to 1991? Dragon Masters is one of those gems Games Workshop put out, even using some components from the classic Mighty Empires. Here, we step into the shoes of elven princes in a land full of intrigue and, of course, dragons! The goal is to expand your realm by managing an economy centered around villages and cities. But don't be fooled; it's not just about building castles. The coolest part is recruiting and commanding dragons to annihilate your rivals and dominate the land. It's a game that blends economic strategy with tactical combat, all within a classic fantasy setting. If you enjoy games with a touch of nostalgia and epic fantasy, where a dragon's power can turn the tide of battle, Dragon Masters might be your next adventure. It's a game with a certain weight, but it rewards those who dedicate themselves to understanding its mechanics. Think of it as a wargame with a strong theme and a management aspect that makes you feel like a true dragon lord!
