Draco is a board game released in 2010 for 2 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Ariel Laden.
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.
Draco supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. 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 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 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. 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.
Draco has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
Draco belongs to these categories: Children's Game and Action / Dexterity. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Draco and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of Draco are: Ariel Laden. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Draco as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
