Dragon Slayer

Head, tail, wings and Ace - dragon defeat!

As a fearless dragon slayer you compete for the title of Master Dragon Slayer. Three dice each represent three dragons of three different levels of difficulty. You choose a dragon and roll his dice together with three warrior dice. Head, Tail and Wings on Dragon Dice are set aside to the rights, Mountains on the game box and Fire Breath to goes to the left. Axe, Shield and Fire Breath symbols on Warrior dice are set to the left.

Then you first defend against a Dragon attack and compare Fire Breath symbols to Shield symbols. In case of the same number or more Shields than Fire Breaths you have defended and put those dice on the box, otherwise you lose one Warrior die per Fire Breath not compensated by a Shield. If, after that, you do not have a minimum of one Axe plus Head, Tail and Wings set aside, you roll the dice on the box again - until the Dragon is defeated or your Warrior is dead and you do not score. If you have the necessary symbols the Dragon is defeated and you can decide if you want to attack another Dragon or stop and score your roll. You can be challenged by other players to go on. If do so, you score double for additional defeated dragons, if not, you only score half of the points you originally achieved - 6 for a red dragon, 4 for a green and 2 for a blue one. A challenger always score 5 points, even if you are defeated and do not score in this round.

The standard mechanism of dice comparison is given an interesting tactical twist by the challenge to the active player to go on or to lose points - a twist that outs the game on a level above your average standard dice game.
