In Keydom's Dragons, you take on the role of a leader of a band of eight brave townsfolk, ready to recover treasures plundered and hidden in caves by dragons. The mission is clear: send your workers into the caves while the dragons are abroad, retrieving as much treasure as they can. But that's not all! Other workers can be sent into town seeking assistance, or perhaps try to bribe castle guards to clear the way. The ultimate goal is to use these recovered treasures to acquire valuable artifacts within the castle. Whoever collects the most artifacts by the end of the game, earning recognition and fame throughout Keydom, is the grand winner. The game combines worker placement with auctions and set collection, all within a medieval fantasy setting with a touch of bluffing. Prepare for a fierce competition where every decision matters, and cunning can be your greatest ally in overcoming rivals and the dangers of the dragons. Player interaction is constant, especially during auctions, where tension builds with every bid.
