Who it's for

Kids from around five and the grown-ups playing with them. It works well when you want a calm race with no reading required.

Not for you if…

You want strategy for adults. Winning depends mostly on memory and luck, not decisions.

Vibe's take

Gentle and suspenseful in the way kids love. Every flip has a little drama, and everyone at the table joins in remembering where chits are hiding. Adults will find it simple but not annoying.

About this game

Fiery Dragons is a memory race for small kids around a bubbling volcano. Each player has a baby dragon starting in its own cave, and you try to move around the ring and back home. On your turn you flip a hidden chit and hope it matches the animal on the square your dragon stands on. Match, and you move forward one to three spaces and flip again. Miss, and your turn is over. Draw the pirate dragon and you slide backward. The first dragon to complete the lap and land in its cave exactly wins. Easy to explain to five-year-olds, with a little push-your-luck suspense that adults tolerate fine.
