Dragonflame

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Take to skies, cast your winged shadow across the land, and use your fearsome fiery breath to strike terror into the hearts of men. For you are a Dragon, an ancient and evil Wyrm, and it is your right to reign over this realm as you desire. Lay waste to the castles and villages that dot your territory, seize princesses, and hoard gold and jewels in secret mountain lair.

But beware… you are not the only dragon trying to sear their name into the pages of history.

In DragonFlame, players take turns stocking Castles with valuable treasures, beautiful princesses, pesky knights, and powerful relics.  At the end of each round, players will choose which castle they want to attack, one dragon per castle.  However you must make your choices wisely.  Although castles have rich treasures, they also determine turn order for the next round.  To make matters worse, some cards may be played face-down, so your opponents can seed a castle with nasty curses or knights which will cost you glory points… or you can do the same to them! Mitigated card luck giving players meaningful choices, quickly resolved rounds but with undercurrents of bluffing and deeper strategy.

Once you have selected a castle, you will place the various treasures and relics you find there into your hoard, which will be scored at game-end. Some treasures like jewelry are worth a fixed number of Glory Points, while others like chests will score higher amounts the more you have. One treasure type, statues, will only score if you have just one copy in your hoard - gain a second, and both cards will be worthless!

Two cards to look out for are magical Relics, which will give you in-game abilities, and Dragonflame cards, which will allow you to lay waste to villages. The most destructive dragons will earn points at game-end for each village that they incinerated.

The Game Academy:

"This game plays well with both Kids and Adults." - Mark WIlson

Mechanics & Meeples:

 "It preserves the great theming possessed by most of the previous Minion Games, but it’s also got some great, well-polished mechanics. And thus I think it’s a game that’s worth playing and worth kickstarting." - Shannon Appelcline

Father Geek:

"Even the non-gamers got into the game, finding the hidden information element of the game play to be particularly intriguing." - Father Geek

“I think the best part of this game is trying to figure out what castle to attack and how best to burn the peasants.” - Child Geek

“What I like about this game – and I mean really like – is how crafty you have to be to give bad cards to opponents, show just enough information to tantalize them, and then bask in the glory that is yours when you totally fool them.” - Gamer Geek

Board Game Authority:

A+ "Holy $h!7 that was fun!" ..."This is so rare and so well done in DragonFlame that I’m actually standing up applauding the designer right now." - Richard Miles

Pop Culture Beast:

"The game feels most similar to 7 Wonders and Guillotine as far as scoring goes. The gameplay itself is unique, I have yet to see a game that uses revealed and hidden cards in this way, and it creates a very satisfying multi-layered strategy opportunity." - Eliot Hochberg

Dice Card Go:

"Dragonflame is deceptively simple to learn and play, because there’s a long list of strategic choices that you’ll make." - Dice.Card.Go!

Death of Monopoly:

"DragonFlame might be small on price but packs a dragon size amount of fun." - Daryl Andrews

.

A Double-Take Preview:

"Dragonflame is a polished offering that reminds me of terrific games such as Coloretto and Ra." - Firestone

"We had a lot of fun with this one, and at the price-point on Kickstarter it's a no-brainer in my book" - Jeremiah

GJJ Games:

"played Dragon Flame with my sons during lunch today (5 and 8) and they both loved it and want me to give it 5 stars out of 5. Then they amended that to 6 stars our of 5." - George Jaros

On Board Games:

"Green Light!" - Donald Dennis
.

GEEKDAD:

"I really liked Dragonflame... The artwork is sharp, and it has nice depth for a compact game."- Jonathan H. Liu

.

Board Game Quest:

"The hidden information piece is one of the things that makes DragonFlame surprisingly fun. You will find yourself shooting a sideways glance at a fellow player who played the curse card face-down on what was an otherwise promising castle. " - Andrew Smith

All Us Geeks:

"It's light enough to bring other people in, but it's got enough meat as well." - Jeff King

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
