About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for graduation at the School of Dragons, where you and your classmates are competing for the coveted title of Master Trainer! In Escola de Dragões, the goal is straightforward: be the first to accumulate 25 training points. But don't be fooled, the competition is fierce, and let's be honest, not everyone always plays fair. This card game is perfect for those seeking a quick and fun experience, ideal for filling those gaps between more complex games or for introducing friends to the hobby. With super accessible rules and games lasting around 15 minutes, it's great for playing with family, friends, or even for introducing younger players to the world of board games, starting from age 8. Player interaction is the key element, where sabotaging rivals' progress is as important as focusing on your own dragons. It uses a 54-card deck, and for those who want to expand the fun, using two decks allows up to 8 people to join the fray. It's a light, direct game with a touch of strategy that guarantees good laughs and a bit of healthy rivalry.
