Der Weg nach Drakonia is a board game released in 2005 for 2–6 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Folker Jung.
Part of the “Das Schwarze Auge Brettspiel” (The Dark Eye Boardgame) line. (The Way to Draconia) is a card/board game who each control a well-known adventuring group / race. Each race is comprised of typical RPG-style heroes. Each hero has special abilities that let him get ahead in the game. The game ends as soon as a hero reaches the goal space in Drakonia. The goal of the game is to move your heroes as far along the path as possible. Multiple cards in hand let the heroes slowly but surely move forward on the difficult path. Being with your own group naturally makes things move more quickly, but careful, other heroes might block your path. And faster than you’d like, a hero might find himself injured on the side of the road or sent back to the start.
Der Weg nach Drakonia supports 2–6 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 Der Weg nach Drakonia is 90 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 Der Weg nach Drakonia for ages 8 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.
