About the game
Welcome to the Champions of Wind & Fire, the world’s first dragon-building board game! Upgrade and train your dragon, gather magical elements, and compete to win the tournaments! Walterra, the world where dragons have lived alongside humans for centuries. Here, among volcanoes, glaciers and crystal mountains, a large-scale competition is held every year. Dragons compete in 3 primary disciplines: Fire breath, Flight and Tail Wielding. This is the famous Tournament of Wind and Fire. Champions of Wind & Fire is a dice-based dragon-training game for 1-4 players, with a playtime of 45-60 minutes. The game combines dice selection and resource management in the Dragon Training phase, followed by betting in the Tournament phase. Additionally, you can play action cards at any time to surprise your opponents. While having the strongest dragon offers advantages, players must strategically distribute its power across different tournaments (by betting their magical elements) to secure victory. The game consists of two phases: Dragon Training and Tournaments. You will level up your dragon by collecting magical stones on the Pyramid of Elements or sending it to the training grounds. Once the Tournament phase begins, place hidden bets, use the collected magical resources to boost your dragon's power, and play action cards to surprise your opponents! Only one dragon will become the Champion of Wind and Fire! —description from the publisher
