Guide Review - Dragon's Gold
Dragon's Gold begins with players working together to kill various dragons. It sounds hard, but it's not. The 18 dragons all can be vanquished without a drop of human blood being spilled.
But when it comes to dividing their treasure -- look out. After slaying a dragon, players have exactly one minute to negotiate a way to divide the loot. If they don't agree by the time the sand timer runs out, nobody gets anything.
Each player has the same set of four characters (wizard, thief, 2 knights), and it always takes more than one character to win a battle. The wizard and thief each have special powers, and a set of magic cards used in the advanced game add some enjoyable chaos to the game.
Dragon's Gold is Immense fun, and you never sit still for long.
