Drago-Tuku (2013)

About this game

Rebuild your castle before dragons block your way - acting/moving by turns - A storm has destroyed Drago-Tuku's castle, the only place where inhabitants get shelter against the island dragons; the knights have to search for the 9 shattered parts before the dragons overwhelm you/them. Each player moves forward according to the die roll and pick up a part if the move ends on a missing piece; bring it back, put it up and start again - if the die shows a 'dragon' a new monster is added and moves along your way. If you meet one you must escape into the magic wood. You still may roll the die, but only you can escape if the die shows a 'sun'. Anyone who throws a sun (let you leap over dragons and define a number between 1-5, too) can dedicate his/her turn to someone else. If all 5 dragons are out and block your way team has lost the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
