About the game
From the publisher's website: "It is again time for the great dragon battle held once every century! Control your dragon to breathe fire on the Great Beast in this thrilling skill game. Every time you hit another dragon, your dragon grows. The player/team with the longest dragon at the end of the battle wins. The durable wooden pieces guarantee a lasting hit for all fans of fast paced fun!" Draco is basically a dexterity game in which you try to knock over pieces of the opponent's or the neutral central dragon by shooting them with wooden disks. Success is rewarded by inclusion of the piece to your own dragon.
Questions and answers

Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Draco is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

The catalogue lists Draco for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
