About the game
Dragon's Path is a card game in which 2 player race to find the Ancient Dragon. Your deck of cards represents different elemental paths that you can choose from. Each elemental path gives you the power to stop your opponent or it can help to follow the right path to the Ancient Dragon. The legend has it that the Ancient Dragon reveals himself only to those who complete the Dragon's Path, rewarding them with power and wisdom. Many wizards attempted, only a few of them succeeded. The goal of the game is to collect five different path cards or four cards of the same element in your play area. Each of the five different path cards has two powerful effects. On their turn players: • Draw a card. • Play a card declaring which effect to use. • Wait for the opponent to play a card in response (some effects allow you to play cards during opponent’s turn). • Eventually apply the effect and collect the card. In the Advanced Mode you can use unique powerful spell to twist the game! Before starting the game, players take two spell cards. Each spell card can be played by discarding two specific path cards. In addition, players do a best of three game. Dragon's Path is the first game of the "Deck Box Game Line": the game box is manufactured by UltraPro and contains 60 cards, the player aids, the rulesheets and three wooden dragon tokens. Extend the gameplay to four player with another Dragon's Path copy! -description from designer
