About the game
Dungeon Draft is a fast-paced drafting game about building a party of brave adventurers and powerful weapons in order to defeat monsters and complete quests. The Pirates & Paladins expansion introduces two new and exciting classes, Pirates and (you guessed it) Paladins! Paladins are all about questing! While the average adventurer might only go on a few quests, Paladins try to go on as many quests as possible. This class adds the ability to draw more quests, creating new possibilities and combinations that were before impossible. They also help you to complete quests faster, making them valuable additions to any adventuring party. Pirates are mean! They are all about stealing from others and caching gold away. This class adds in a brand-new element to Dungeon Draft: Player vs. Player effects. Pirates can be used to steal money or cards from other players, hindering their turns.
