About the game
Lured by a precious treasure, you are brave dwarves venturing into the dragon's cave, gathering gold coins on your way! Pick each step forward carefully because if the dragon predicts your next move on the path, you'll move backward and risk losing the coins you haven't saved in your treasure chest. Bluff your way through Dragon's Cave to strike it rich! —description from the publisher
