About the game
What you do in a play session
In Please Don't Burn My Village!, you’re a villager trying to save your village from a fire-breathing dragon. The secret? Bribing the dragon with valuable treasures like barbarian axes or phoenix feathers. But beware: other villagers have the same idea, and the dragon will only spare the village with the best bribes. The game blends strategy, speculation, and a bit of luck. You can buy treasures on the black market, sabotage rivals, or push your luck to get the best timing. When the deck runs out, the dragon will burn all villages except one. Will yours be the survivor? Get ready for a tense and decision-filled showdown!
