8 Dragons is basically a memory game. At the start of the game the 42 cards are laid out in a 6x7 tableau. The goal of the game is not to find as many pairs as possible. In each turn you will turn over two cards. If they match either on form or on color you can take them in your hand. As an extra bonus for matching form you can take another turn.

Since a player has a hand limit of 4 cards you will most likely need to place cards back in the tableau in order to collect a full set of 4 cards which form a dragon. Different color dragons are of different rarity and also score a different amount of points. Add to that a few cards which either give you a bonus or a penalty when you turn them over and you have the game 8 Dragons.
