Drachen Wurf (2008)

About this game

6 dice are rolled and re-rolled, trying to get the correct colours to obtain dragon tiles from the display or to take them from other players. You can re-roll the dice several times but have to set at least one aside each time. The dragons are initially at risk from capture by other players but on your next turn you can set them into your secure layout. At the end you score points for having dragons of one colour or different dragons but with the same background landscape. Part of the Schmidt Spiele Easy Play line.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
