To the west of the country of Avganïr, the governor of the Kingdom has preserved creatures now extinct, the Dragons! Today, he has chosen you, along with some other breeders in the region, to revive and prosper these legends. using these available species, challenge your competitors to make your most famous Ranch in the West.

On your turn you can do 3 actions: Play a combination of cards to receive a number of species or a dragon; Discard 2 cards to receive 2 new cards and 1 gold (gold is a joker); Draw a card and take one gold.

After this you should draw your hand back up to 5 cards. The hand limit is 7.

When the card deck is empty, the second phase begins where the dragon's eat:

The medium creatures eat the small creatures, and the hatched dragons eats the medium creatures. When there's not enough food the creatures/dragons die. The creatures who survive will reproduce (the first one is free, for the others you'll pay with gold).

After this, you score your dragons depending on the size, extra bonu scards (you'll receive this after you hatch an egg) and 2 round bonuses (eg player with the most small creatures, most eggs etc.)

You will shuffle the deck and start the game again, you will keep the surviving creatures, dragons, and eggs and you will have to feed them again. At the end of the round the game will end.
