6 dice are rolled and re-rolled, trying to get the correct colors to obtain dragon tiles from the display or to take them from other players. You can re-roll the dice several times but have to set at least one aside each time.
The dragons are initially at risk from capture by other players but on your next turn you can set them into your secure layout. At the end you score points for having dragons of one color or different dragons but with the same background landscape.
