About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wanted a game you can pull out of the box and start playing with the whole family—kids included—without needing a 50-page manual? Dragon Tricks is exactly that kind of gem! It takes the classic trick-taking mechanic and gives it a unique twist that will totally surprise you. Unlike traditional trick-taking games where you are forced to follow suit, here the rules are much more relaxed and fun. The goal is to win tricks to, at the end of each round, trade them in to hatch dragon eggs. The real challenge? You'll want to assemble the most valuable collection of baby dragons to secure the highest score. It's a visually stunning card game, super fast (you can finish a game in 15 minutes!) and scales beautifully from 2 to 8 players. Whether you're looking for something light for a coffee break or a perfect introduction for kids entering the board game hobby, Dragon Tricks is your game. It's simple, dynamic, and honestly, it's impossible not to get excited trying to hatch the cutest dragon at the table!
