Fiery Dragons (2006)

About this game

Everyone knows that baby dragons are courageous. But they need also a good memory. And they prove it with a race around the bubbling volcano. Each player starts his baby dragon in another cave. The active player tries to uncover a chit with the kind of symbol shown on the field he's standing on. If he fails, his turn is over. If he draws a pirate dragon, he even must move back. If he succeeds, he moves forward up 1, 2, or 3 spaces (depending on the chit), and continues with his turn. The first player that completes a round around the board and reaches his cave with an exact move wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
