Street Masters III: Tide of the Dragon is the boldest expansion in the Street Masters series, bringing a Hong Kong setting straight out of an arcade game. The story revolves around the feared Dragon Gate and two rival triads that are ready to use the chaos as a trap to dominate the city. The game keeps the core of the Sadlers' modular deck mechanic, but adds terrain cards that change the battlefield in real time – stairs that allow you to escape attacks, hydrants that spray water at enemies, and more. Each fighter has a set of custom action dice, giving a personal touch that feels like a tabletop RPG. Instead of just playing cards, you need to plan your character’s placement on the grid, move precisely, and use dice rolls to decide who wins. The cooperative aspect brings a team of four players together to stop the bosses and henchmen from achieving their goals, while hand management requires you to choose when to use each card to maximize damage or defense. The expansion is perfect for those who already know Street Masters and want more variety, but it also works as a good entry point for new players who enjoy quick, tactical battles. If you love miniatures, close‑quarters combat, and a bit of deck‑building strategy, Tide of the Dragon will keep you glued to the table.
