Dragoonies

Coins for fast reactions

To receive a share of the dragon treasure you need to find the right dragon tiles quickly. You have two dragon tiles of a color; 16 dragon tiles are laid out in a circle, showing three characteristics - color, number of dragon horns and a dragon item. The dragon tiles for five colors show neither horn nor item; 11 dragons are white and vary in items and number of horns. All play simultaneously: One player names a number between two and six and sets down as many search cards into the circle of dragon tiles. All search for the characteristic that is visible most often on the search cards. when you find it such a characteristic, you place one of your dragons on the respective dragon tile; there can be several correct solutions.

Only one dragon per tile is allowed; you can place your dragons on two different tiles, but you cannot relocate a dragon. If you placed a dragon correctly, you receive a dragon coin; if you placed it wrongly, you must discard a dragon coin. Then the search cards are set aside and new ones are displayed for the next round. If you own seven dragon coins, you win.

In a variant, you shuffle two Super Search cards into the stack of search cards. If they are revealed you need to find the characteristic that is not represented on the search cards; there can also be several correct solutions.

Dragoonies is a simple and quick game, and yet a bit challenging, as you need to take a close look at the dragon items with the white dragons. And remember, there is always only one dragon tile that fits, but there can be ties in the numbers of characteristics. A nice game for children and families, too.
