Dragon Spark is a board game released in 2024 for 1 player and 30–45 minutes per game. It was designed by Peter Jank and its main mechanics are Solo / Solitaire Game and Multi-Use Cards.
You are a hero with a specific class, ability, and skills. You will begin your adventure on 1 of 3 Dragon Hunts. Each Hunt consists of 5 waves of monsters. However, the player must decide on when it’s best to fight the Dragon: Early into the Hunt but less prepared - or - Later into the Hunt in which the Monsters are more difficult but your Hero will be much stronger against the Dragon. During each wave, you will spend your energy to play your skills, add modifiers from collected loot, and spend gems to and charge your skills for the more powerful effects. Each skill will help defend, heal, attack monsters, and much more making each play-through unique. After each wave you will learn new skills, possibly forget old ones, and prepare yourself for the next wave or one of the three Dragons. Defeat all three Dragons and win the game.
Dragon Spark supports 1 player 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 Dragon Spark is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
