About the game
What you do in a play session
The party doesn't stop in The Red Dragon Inn, and this time Pooky is taking center stage! While the wizard Zot takes a nap, this peculiar little rabbit, full of gold and with a chip on his shoulder, decides it's time to prove his worth. Forget the role of 'whipping bunny' – Pooky is ready to cause chaos on his own. This card pack adds Pooky as a fifth playable character, bringing his own quirks and vices to the table. Get ready for some rather... insane behavior, which can surprisingly be useful for getting the group out of jams. It's important to note that Pooky isn't an expansion for Zot, but rather an independent character joining the gang. Each set in the 'Allies' series brings a new character to any base game of The Red Dragon Inn, with their own deck and components. If you enjoy the mayhem and fun of The Red Dragon Inn, and want another character with a unique personality and crazy powers, Pooky is the right choice. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the level of madness!
