Dragons places each player in command of a mighty dragon. You get to play cards to get a good position on the opposing dragon and let loose with a wide variety of Breath, Magic, and Melee attacks.

Dragons features the DIF award winning action/reaction system. This means you get to play a card, your opponent gets a chance to react, you get to react, and so on. This makes for a great simulation of aerial conflict.

There are three ways to win. You can inflict wounds on the opponent, tire him, or capture his Lair.

The game comes with 3 pre-built dragon decks for the Fire, Ice, and Lightning dragons.

What is a Virtual Tabletop Game?
Our line of Virtual Tabletop games are powered by the Vassal Engine.

Vassal is an ingenious software package that allows you to play games through the internet. Vassal is not a complex computer game that must be learned. Instead, it shows you the game board and pieces, and you get to move them around as if in a face-to-face game with another player. This means you do not have to spend hours learning how to use a computer game. You simply move the pieces around the on-screen board as if you were sitting across the table from another player. As you make your moves, the other player sees your moves.

Vassal includes a Chat system to keep you in contact with your opponents. A Vassal game includes all the maps, counters, automated die rollers, and card decks you need to play the game.
