About the game

What you do in a play session

In Dragonland, players embark on a strategic adventure across a volcanic archipelago, guiding their groups of companions from one volcano to another in search of valuable treasures. The main objective is to collect sets of dragon eggs and precious gemstones, which are the key to victory. Each egg and gemstone contributes to the final score, but the real reward comes from completing collections, granting significant bonus points. Cunning and planning are essential to outmaneuver opponents and secure the best treasures. The game keeps everyone on the edge of their seats, as the end is triggered by the collection of the last dragon egg, meaning the race for points can be more intense than anticipated. Get ready to roll dice, make clever choices, and maybe even a little bluffing as you try to be the greatest treasure collector in Dragonland!
