Dragon War is a roll-and-move boardgame in which the board (basically a linear path) is built with cards. Each card depicts a fantasy creature along with 3 board spaces (e.g. the Pegasus card contains a 'Safe Haven' space, a 'Trade Places with Next Player Forward' space, and a 'Fly Forward Three Squares' space). There are several expansions available to extend the basic set.FROM THE BOX COVER: The Legend... The ancient King of Dragons, Marloon, has died leaving the Dragon Throne open for the first time in ten thousand years. The surviving dragons are thrust into a war to determine who will be king. As the mighty creatures battle, a few brave adventurers search for Marloon's castle. Legends say that if a champion finds the throne room, before the Dragon War ends, they shall rule the dragon empire.
