Draco

DRAGON RIDERS STORM THE PEAK

Dragon riders race each other to the top of Mount Draco. For the race they have herded 10 wild dragons at the foot of the mountain and race them to the peak.

All 10 dragons are assembled at the start; they are not allocated to players, but can be moved by any player. Each player chooses a dragon symbol and takes both markers. Then you pick up a card of any color, it shows the dragon you are currently controlling. 6 cards are dealt to each player. In your turn you play a card and move the dragon of this color forward the number of steps shown on the card. If you play a card for a dragon controlled by another player you place the card underneath your open card. If you play a card for a dragon that is currently not controlled by any player, you place the card on top and now control this dragon. If you would have to take over the rearmost dragon, you can choose whether you want to take over control or not. When a dragon moves onto a blue or a green square the stage is scored: For a blue square all dragons on a square of value 3 r lower score the value of the square. For a green spot all dragons score the value of their current location. If a dragon is moved to the top of the mountain a big = green scoring happens. At the end of your turn you draw a card, but only if no scoring occurred. The third dragon reaching the top wins the game. You win with the highest score of victory points,

Dragons are always fascinating, here due to the amazing graphics and the very simple mechanism. Draco is a good game for beginners or for a family with younger children, rather chance-driven, but nice!
