Three dwarf dragon hunters have a young red dragon chained in a shady valley, and now they have to kill it without getting eaten. Drako is a two-player asymmetric duel in which one of you plays the whole dwarf party and the other plays the dragon. Each side has its own deck, and the symbols on each card show which actions you can take: the dragon moves, bites, breathes fire and flies a little, while the dwarves swing axes, fire crossbows and protect each other. It is played on a hex grid, takes about half an hour and is perfect for a pair that likes tense little fights.
Who it's for
You and a partner want a fast, asymmetric fantasy duel that plays out in half an hour with a different feel on each side.
Not for you if…
You are more than two or want something relaxed. It is a head-to-head fight that rewards focus.
Vibe's take
Tense and lopsided in the best way. The dragon is powerful but cornered, the dwarves are brave but fragile, and each turn is a puzzle of positioning and the right action card.
