About the game

What you do in a play session

Way of the Dragon is a mythical race where five elemental creatures compete for immortality. Each player controls a group of five pieces representing dragons, tigers, turtles and birds, each with unique abilities. The goal is to advance your pieces through five different paths on the board, using dice rolls to determine movement. The strategy lies in deciding when to use special abilities and how to distribute your moves among the pieces. The game ends when any player manages to get all five of their pieces to the end of the paths. With simple roll-and-move mechanics but room for small strategies, it's a family game that blends luck with quick decision-making.
