## Description
In Dragon's Hoard, you take on the role of a dragon with an insatiable appetite for treasure! The mission is straightforward: amass as much wealth as possible. To achieve this, you'll need to be clever and collect sheep from farmers' fields, using them as currency to acquire coveted treasures. But beware, because a dragon's life isn't all comfort! Your rivals are also eyeing riches and won't hesitate to send angry mobs and powerful wizards to thwart your plans. You'll have to defend your hoard and perhaps even attack opponents to ensure your pile of gold is the largest. The core mechanics involve an open drafting of cards, where everyone chooses their actions from a shared menu, and sharp hand management to play the right cards at the right time. The goal is clear: accumulate treasures that yield victory points, and whoever has the biggest collection at the end of the game, along with any bonuses it might bring, is the ultimate winner. It's a fast-paced game with a fun theme and direct player interaction, perfect for those who enjoy planning and defending against unexpected attacks.
