Not a single coin of gold, silver, tin, or jade escapes your watchful eye. Your day was planned for counting treasures, until meddling heroes showed up to steal them! In Dragonvault, a solo roll-and-write game, you take on the role of a dragon defending its hoard from adventurers. Each turn, you roll dice to place traps at strategic points along a winding path. At regular intervals, heroes (randomly selected) appear and advance along the path, triggering your defenses. Each hero has special abilities that make them more resilient or cunning, challenging your strategy. Some will fall, others will reach the treasure. When time runs out, your score is based on how much treasure you managed to protect! Released in 2018, Dragonvault is perfect for fans of quick, tense games. ## FAQ ### How long does a game take?
