About the game
Climb the big staircase of the dungeon to save this poor dragon! Legend has it that whoever succeeds in freeing the dragon will be pronounced the savior of the kingdom, but this dragon is guarded by evil sorcerers who launch enormous boulders to keep would-be adventurers away. Dodge obstacles, protect yourself behind shields, and be the first climb to the top to Save the Dragon! —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Save The Dragon supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Save The Dragon is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Save The Dragon for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Save The Dragon has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
