About the game
This is a card you can add to your Aquarius deck to alter the gameplay to resemble Seven Dragons. The front of the card is an image of the Aquarius Dragon, and the back of the card contains the instructions on how to use this card. It acts as a new starter card, and is initially wild. As you play Actions to the discard pile, the Aquarius Dragon changes color to match the top Action card in the discard pile. You can also choose to play an Action to the discard pile without fulfilling the action in order to just change the color of the Dragon. Or you choose can play an Action card to the bottom of the discard pile to get the benefit of the action without changing the Dragon.

Questions and answers
Aquarius: Dragon supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Aquarius: Dragon is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Aquarius: Dragon for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Aquarius: Dragon has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Aquarius: Dragon belongs to these categories: Card Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Tile Placement and Pattern Building. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

Check that your edition of Aquarius is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
