During the game you will take photos of its beautiful locations, the iconic structures that create the skyline of Barcelona, and… dragons! Find the best views of the city, from its seashore to the mountains of Collserola and Montjuïc. Discover its incredible architecture, and the outstanding Modernist sites including those of visionary architect Gaudí. Did you know that you can find more than 400 dragons in the city of Barcelona?

Barcelona is a city of dragons! Are you ready? Grab your camera and win the game! The goal of this board game for 2-6 players is to score the highest number of points to win the photography contest.
