Description
In Dragon Stripes, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure as a brave knight approaching a fierce dragon, all while trying to collect as many gems as possible along the way. This classic game, designed by Alex Randolph and first published in 1989, is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by 2 to 6 players in just 30 minutes. With its simple rules and push-your-luck mechanics, Dragon Stripes is a great fit for anyone who loves mythology and a good challenge. Each player starts with 40 gems and takes turns moving their knight towards the dragon's head, collecting gems as they go, but beware - the journey is full of surprises. As you navigate the dragon's stripes, you'll encounter footprint cards that help you advance, stop cards that set you back, and danger cards that raise the stakes. With each step, you'll have to decide whether to push your luck and reveal another card or play it safe and hold on to your gems. But be careful, because if you reveal the third danger card, you'll lose all your gems. The game ends when a player reaches the dragon's head or reveals the third danger card, and the player with the most gems wins. With its unique blend of luck and strategy, Dragon Stripes is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you eager for another round.
