About the game
The dragons believed their might was unrivaled. They were mistaken... Ever since dragons took over, the humans were left cowering without a gold coin to their name...until now. From the sea arrives a ship commanded by a stoic Barbarian in need of new recruits by fear or by coin. From the island catacombs emerges a mysterious Rogue, rumored to steal by night with cunning equipment. With the ability to play using any combination of characters, including two player Rogue vs. Barbarian, the first expansion to Dragoon offers both fresh variants for returning players and the ability to play with up to six players! DRAGOON: The Rogue and Barbarian Expansion takes the fun and excitement of Dragoon to new heights by increasing the total player count to 6. Rather than adding more playable dragons, you can now test your mettle with two new human roles: the Rogue and Barbarian! Each character has a unique play style. While the Barbarian plays similarly to the dragons, they require a more tactical approach to increase their strength and gain access to a unique deck of cards. The Rogue relies on stealth and a suite of new equipment to outwit the competition. With the ability to play using any combination of characters, the first expansion to DRAGOON offers both fresh variants for returning players and the ability to play with a larger group at game night! Asymmetric characters with new play styles! Increases max player count to 6. Adds 15-30 minutes.
