About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Fist of Dragonstones*, you’re an adventurer chasing legendary magic stones that once united kingdoms. The game blends bluffing, sealed auctions, and set collection into a strategic battle where every coin in your fist can turn the tide. Enchanted characters have unique powers: some steal gems from rivals, others grant lucky breaks or even curse opponents. The thrill lies in the tension of sealed bids—you never know if you’re overpaying or snagging a character for a steal. With a medieval theme packed with magic and skulduggery, it’s perfect for groups who love direct player interaction and table drama. Pro tip: always save some coins for the final rounds when stones are worth their weight in gold!
