About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to unleash your inner dragon? In Wrath of Dragons, the game is on: each player takes on the role of an ancient dragon that, over six centuries, wreaks havoc across the Old World. Imagine this: soaring over regions, torching settlements, snatching livestock, plundering gold, and, of course, capturing nobles for your collection. It's your chance to be the most feared and devastating winged beast! The objective is straightforward: cause the maximum amount of destruction and fear possible. At the end of six centuries of pure draconic anarchy, we tally the victory points based on the damage done. Whoever has the highest score wins the title of Supreme Dragon! The game blends mechanics like area control, movement, hand management, and simultaneous action selection. The cooperative aspect comes from everyone playing against the game's rules, but the final victory is individual. It's a game with a strong theme, putting you in the shoes of a legendary villain, with a playtime ranging from 60 to 90 minutes and a complexity level that challenges those who enjoy more elaborate strategy. If you love fantasy, medieval settings, and want to feel the power of a dragon, this adventure promises to be epic!
