Read the full game description
Dragon Parade is a compact card game by Reiner Knizia set around a Chinese New Year procession. Players alternate cards that move the dragon clockwise or counterclockwise along a city route, then place merchants in districts where they believe the parade will end. Every card changes both the destination and the value of earlier predictions, creating a brisk mix of hand management, bluffing, and positional betting. The rules are simple enough for families, but reading opponents and timing limited influence remain central.
