Transport yourself to a world where dragons of all shapes, sizes and colors soar under the sky and take on the role of an amateur dragonologist to discover caves and transform them into a reserve for these majestic creatures. Remember, however, that creating the perfect place may not be enough - you also need to attract dragons to want to stay there longer!
In On the Wings of Dragons you build your own draconid reserve. You start with three excavated spaces - one in each of the caves: the Scarlet Cavern, the Golden Cavern, and the Amethyst Abyss. During the game, you will dig out more fields and lure dragons to your reserve, activate powerful abilities and seek the favor of the Dragon Guild.
What is it about?
The game lasts 4 rounds. In each of them we play several turns in clockwise order.
During our turn, we choose one of the actions available on our reserve board, move our dragonologist there, pay the appropriate cost, and then perform the action.
We can choose from mining, which allows us to play cards into caves, luring, thanks to which we will play dragon cards on the board, and exploration of the Scarlet Cavern, which allows us to activate selected abilities.
The different types of dragons that we can lure to the reserve have different resource requirements and preferred caves, they also provide different numbers of victory points and various effects. The key to victory is to create the best possible combinations from the available cards and use them at the right moment.
We play our turns until we pass. This usually happens when someone has used up all their coins or has no dragon cards in their hand that they want (or could) play. When all players have passed, the round ends.
After the fourth round, players tally up their points for dragon cards, end-of-game abilities, saved eggs, resources, and more. The winner is the person who has collected the most.
Why will you love this game?
- The game is based on the basic mechanics known from On the Wings of Elizabeth Hargrave, but is more complex, and every aspect of the gameplay has been newly designed around the theme of dragons!
- The multitude of available elements makes individual games extremely diverse and allows you to try many new strategies. In turn, changes in the way of obtaining resources, the addition of new cards and the mechanism related to the Dragon Guild make the gameplay a challenge even for veterans of On the Wings.
- The game includes special rules that enable single-player gameplay in which we compete with an artificial opponent, the Automa. The rulebook also includes a solo variant of Tangled.
