Description Edit | History

A picturebook game similar to Ace of Aces: Handy Rotary Series.

Each player has a book that contains many different 1st person perspective views from the back of a dragon flying high above ground. You and your wingmate must destroy the 'threads' as they fall without injuring each other. Best of seven threads makes for a good introducory game.

The rules are split into three different sets: Introductory (basic moves and how to score), Role-playing (adds different dragon types and rider statistics) and Campaign (links multiple flights and awards bonus stats to player characters).
