About the game
Get ready for the biggest tavern brawl the world has ever seen in "The Dragon & Flagon"! This isn't just any tavern; it's the stage for the legendary "Dragon" drink, rumored to grant incredible powers. The catch? There's only one flagon left, and a crowd of thirsty adventurers vying for a sip. The goal here isn't just to drink, it's to emerge as the greatest fighter in the establishment's history!

Dive into total chaos for 2 to 8 players, where anything goes: throwing mugs, smashing chairs, swinging from chandeliers, casting spells, and of course, tripping up your friends to secure your fame. With nine unique characters to choose from and a 3D tavern that changes setup every game, fun and unpredictability are guaranteed. Each character has their own special abilities, so plan your actions carefully (or don't, the mess is part of the fun!). Each round, you'll queue up your actions, and everyone acts simultaneously, minimizing downtime. The game is fast-paced, chaotic, and full of laughs, perfect for those who enjoy direct confrontation and a bit of madness.
