Roll fireballs at a secret target while everyone tries to read where you were aiming.

Published by

A dexterity game about a young dragon who keeps missing what he aims at. You secretly pick one of the target lanes, then roll three fireballs and hope at least one lands where you wanted. Everyone else watches your throws and tries to work out which lane you were after. Points go both to accurate shots and to sharp observers.

Secret target adds bluffing to a rolling gameEveryone stays involved during other turnsWorks from age five upwards

Who it's for

Mixed-age tables where adults and small kids need to be on roughly equal footing, since a steady hand matters more than clever planning.

Not for you if…

You want real strategic depth or a game that stays interesting for adults on its own. The scoring is thin, the same throws repeat quickly, and grown-ups will be done with it long before the kids are.

Vibe's take

Loud and giggly, with a nice tension between wanting a clean hit and not wanting to give yourself away. Turns fly by, so nobody sits around waiting.
