You are a fearless dragon slayer, and the only question is how many dragons you are willing to chase before you call it a day. On your turn you hunt dragons in the order you choose, rolling dice and pushing your luck, repeating the Dragon Hunt until you decide to stop. The twist is that your companions can challenge you, demanding you prove your valor, and there are rewards for passing or failing a challenge. So you decide which dragon to go after, when to stop, whom to challenge and how to get others to bite. Simple rules, nasty decisions, about 15 minutes for two to five players, from age 14.
Who it's for
You love push-your-luck dice games and enjoy a bit of table pressure and trash talk.
Not for you if…
You dislike gambling-like mechanics or hate being dared into risks.
Vibe's take
Quick, cheeky and a little cruel. The dice are the engine, but the real game is the table talk, as everyone eggs everyone else on or calls their nerve.
