About the game

What you do in a play session

In Dragonscales, you're a mighty villain, but even you fear Archerex, the dragon lord. Team up with other villains in a shaky alliance to slay the beast and loot its treasure — or betray your allies at the right moment and escape with the spoils! Each player has unique abilities and multiple paths to victory, from killing the dragon to hoarding more treasure than others. With dice rolling, push-your-luck mechanics, and direct 'take that' interactions, the game blends strategy and controlled chaos. Will your greed outweigh your fear of the dragon?
