Dragonbrood

The dragons of Dracodale have long been banished to Eternal Slumber in the far corners of the Earth. But once a millennium, for just six years, the spirits of the Elder Dragons awaken to create new broods of Dragons to pillage the lands and collect immense hordes of treasure before being banished again to Eternal Slumber.

Each player is the spirit of an Elder Dragon: Black, Gray, Umber, Sienna, Tan, White, vying for the largest horde of treasure, including various coins, gems, jewels, trinkets, crystals, and gold. Players will begin with just a few young, freshly hatched dragons, but over the course of six years, each year consisting of four seasons, those few will grow in number and size, possibly even awaking your own slumbering Elder Dragon body. Players will ultimately, through clever choices of timing and possibly color abilities, be placing their Dragon meeples in various locations to gain, trade, steal, buy and spend various resources.

Each Elder Spirit’s horde of treasure is made up of their collection of the seven valuable items (gold, ducats (coin), gobloons (coin), dragon coin (coin), crystals, gems and jewels), as well as, trinkets obtained, bank vault value, magic track value and end game bonus amounts. The Elder Dragon Spirit (Player) with the most valuable horde of treasure at the end of the six years is the winner of Dragonbrood.
