About the game
What you do in a play session
The goal is to accumulate the most points, and to achieve this, you'll play cards with symbols matching the board areas. By playing cards, you can trigger special actions. For instance, if you play three dragon hunter cards in a specific area, you can capture dragon cards that are worth a lot of points. Conversely, the dragon side can use its cards to collect treasures or protect itself.
The core mechanic revolves around hand management. Each turn, you play one or more cards of the same type and then refill your hand to five cards. The choice of which cards to play and when is crucial, as each move can have a direct impact on scoring or your opponent's actions. There's an element of bluffing involved, as you don't know exactly what cards your adversary holds.
The game also features the special Dragonheart card, which grants unique advantages, such as an extra card in hand or bonus points at the end. Dragonheart is perfect for those seeking a fast-paced game with simple rules that are easy to learn, yet offers interesting tactical decisions. It's ideal for playing as a pair, with matches lasting no more than 30 minutes, ensuring fun without unnecessary delays. If you enjoy card games with a touch of fantasy and a good challenge for two, Dragonheart might be a great choice.
