Players assume the role of 1 of 8 dragons, each with a different special ability ready to consume the land before them. The game is played over a series of rounds that involve each player taking 1 action each round accounting for little or no downtime. The game can last up to 45 minutes with 4 players. Actions include: Fly and Gather Fly and Fight Rest/Heal Players are trying to Decimate the most lands and gather the most magical coins and Dragon gems before all the magical coins are gone or the land is completely decimated. Players roll dice for combat but can heavily influence their die results by discarding magical coins with special powers. If you decimate a land with a Dragon gem on it, you also take on the special ability of that Dragon making you more powerful. There is no player elimination and whomever has the most VP at the end of the game is declared the winner! —description from the publisher
