About the game
What you do in a play session
Opale is a fast and addictive two-player card game where you must save the kingdom of Atlea from destruction. The evil witch has turned Azura, the guardian dragon, to stone, and now dark creatures are on the loose. As Azura's disciple, your job is to play cards strategically to collect points and awaken the dragon before it's too late. Each turn is simple: play one or more cards of the same type on the board, collect available points, and refill your hand. Sounds easy, but timing is everything here. Opale is a reissue of Dragonheart, with some new variants to make the game even more interesting. If you enjoy bluffing and hand management games, this one is a sure bet for a quick and intense match.
