Dragonniers – Fight the Poachers to Save the Dragons

On the mystical island of Emberheart, the last dragons live under threat from poachers coming from the Distant Lands. As one of the King’s champions, you must rally the villagers, rescue captured dragons, and repel the enemy raids. But beware — every action feeds the dragon flame burning within you, and you’ll need to keep it in check if you hope to become the next Dragon Ambassador.

How to Play Dragonniers

Each round is divided into two main phases. During the Action Phase, you can either take an Aid token for a temporary bonus or send a group of hirelings to one of the island’s locations to claim its rewards. The larger your group, the earlier you act and the better the rewards. Soldiers are versatile but single-use, while Scouts, Rangers, and Wardens are permanent but limited to specific areas. Your dragon companion can also join your party, granting bonuses based on its training. Rewards allow you to recruit heroes with unique abilities, rescue dragons to place them safely in their preserves, or counterattack the poachers. At the end of each round, the Raid Phase tests your defenses. After five rounds, the player with the most Glory wins the game. But beware — letting the dragon flame grow too strong during the game can cost you dearly at the end!
