Putting on the best dragon show needs forward planning and the right strategy. The player who has been able to attract the most spectators by the fifth evening show wins Dragondraft.

A good colourful game and as you would expect from HABA easy to learn rules, this is pitched at family level where it sits very nicely. The theme is that you are assembling a circus troop of friendly Dragons to score points in the evening’s performance. The aim of the game is to collect sets of cards from a grid (where they were dealt in set-up), there are 4 rows and you may only take a card from the top of a row for free, you can take other cards further down but only by taking penalty cards as well however as you are limited to taking only 9 cards in a round the penalty cards can rapidly clog your hand. Scoring is mainly from sets of Dragons (5 different types with different ways to score) and by building stands with the help of Goblin cards. The game mechanics are easy enough for younger players and there is plenty of pre-planning to be done for those who are looking for more depth.
