Don't Wake the Dragon is a two-player microgame in which you take turns attempting to mine for gold in a dragon's lair without waking them up.

Each turn, you roll a d6 to determine how heavy a sleeper the dragon is; if it's a high number, it's a heavy sleeper; if it's a low number, not so much.

After the d6 is rolled, players take turns placing down a card numbered from 1-6, representing how much of a disturbance you created when mining. These cards add up to a total value between the two players, and if a player plays a card that takes the total value above the value of the d6, they must pick up cards equal to the difference between the collective card the d6 value.

The first player to have no cards in their hand is the winner.
