Dragonwake is a 3-6 party game of deception, deduction, and dragons! Undisturbed in the depths of an ancient lair, the Dragon slumbers. If the Dragon wakes, it could be the end of the world as we know it. Legendary heroes have been called to enter the lair, find the sacred relics, and slay the Dragon. But beware! The party of heroes has been infiltrated by the shadowy members of the Dragon Cult. These cultists will lie, deceive, and cheat to sabotage the heroes and wake the Dragon. Enter the lair with your secret role as a hero or a cultist. Each player is dealt a hand from a deck consisting of relic cards, the dragon card, and gold cards. You can't pick cards from your own hand, so you'll have to lie, build trust, or find other ways to persuade other players to work with you. Find all of the relics in time or before the dragon is found and the heroes win! Otherwise, the cultists wake the Dragon and destroy the world! —description from the publisher
