Seven Dragons is exactly that! If you enjoy mechanics reminiscent of dominoes but with a dash of dragon-themed strategy, get your board ready. This game is a spiritual evolution of the classic Aquarius, bringing a highly addictive pattern-matching dynamic. At the start, each player receives a secret goal based on one of the seven colored dragons and an initial hand of three cards. The game begins with the Silver Dragon on the table, acting as a wild card to get everyone started. The core loop is simple: draw one card and play one, attempting to connect colored panels to build your territory. Don't let the simplicity fool you, though; the deck includes action cards that can flip the game on its head, such as trading hands or 'zapping' a card. As action cards are played, they form a discard pile that dictates the Silver Dragon's color, removing its wild status and ramping up the tension. The ultimate goal is to be the first to create a connected sequence of seven panels in your color. It's a dynamic experience, perfect for quick 15 to 30-minute sessions that demand constant focus to prevent your opponent from completing their territory first. It's the perfect high-quality filler to keep in your collection for those quick breaks between heavier games! ## FAQ ### How long does a game last?
