"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons... for you are crunchy & good with ketchup!" The knight stepped quickly down the spiral staircase, his chainmail clinking as he moved. His sword was drawn and clean, and it shone in the torchlight. The knight had already overcome trials in this unnatural labyrinth. He had escaped the allure of the magical harp. He had survived the dragon’s cruel games. He had collected nearly all the gold he needed to escape. Around the corner ahead, he saw it – an unmistakable gleam. Torchlight on golden coins. Only a few more feet and he would have his salvation. But as he stepped forward a windstorm rose around him, and the golden gleam vanished…
You have been caught looting the hoard of the dreaded Drakon. For such transgression, a fiery death should be the only appropriate response. But Drakon has decided to toy with you before she devours you. You and your rival heroes will each be released into the labyrinth, and the first hero to discover ten gold pieces will go free with his treasure. The rest of you will satisfy the dragon’s hunger!
In this dark labyrinth, only one thing can save you: your own greed. Will you ruthlessly grab gold and undermine your opponent’s schemes before escaping to victory? Or will you fail and become just another meal for the dragon? You decide your fate, but only one hero can escape from Drakon!
In every game of Drakon, you and your opponents must fight to stay alive in the midst of the labyrinth. On your turn, you can either move your hero to another room, or add another tile piece to the labyrinth, placing beneficial chambers in your own path and throwing your opponents into harm’s way. But you must be cautious. The chambers of Drakon’s labyrinth are filled with danger, not to mention the dragon herself!
Ancient magic, hallowed treasures, and devious traps await you! To navigate these deadly corridors and survive, you’ll need to be quick and careful.
Of course, the tiles that you play and the chambers that you move through must bring you closer to your ultimate goal. You claim victory in Drakon if you are the first player to claim ten gold. You can gain this gold in a variety of ways, but the principal source of gold is by moving into the chambers of the dungeon. Certain chambers in the labyrinth invite you to find a coin. Others allow you to steal a random coin from your neighbor on the left or right. Whether you gain these coins by fair means or foul, each coin offers a different gold value, making it difficult to determine exactly how close your opponents are to victory.
