About the game
An adventure on to the Island of Dragon, where players try to reach for treasure chests while crossing through different terrains. Players need to bring back a treasure to their own boat but in order to do so, players must cooperate with other since a chest is too heavy to carry alone. There are two dragons that get in the way of players. The one who brings back most treasure chests to their boat wins this game. This game has plenty of interaction between players, that may be cooperation or betrayal, but its a light and fun experience.
