Pixel Guardians (2015)

About this game

An evil summoner is calling forth ancient dragons to attack the peaceful kingdom of Pixel! As the dragons storm the kingdom, combine body sections until complete dragons are created. Use your guardian army to attack these threats by matching attack gems & earn points for slaying body sections. Cast spells to conquer entire dragons, use shiny treasure to lure dragons away from the kingdom, or steal dragon sections from other players by trumping their attack. But be careful…all players are looking to earn fame and glory by collecting the most points and can turn on you at any time! Thwart their attempts by using chains to protect dragon sections you have already conquered and keep them on the battlefield so they can’t be lured away... Decide the right time to make your moves. Rid the kingdom of these evil beasts & earn the most points to win!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
