Read the full game description

Dragonland is a family strategy game from Reiner Knizia in which dwarves, elves, magicians, and humans travel between volcanoes to rescue treasure. Dice from the Tower of Destiny determine which adventurer types may move, while paths and limited dragonback flights create a network of tactical routes. Players gather colored gems, dragon eggs, and magical rings, but final scoring rewards balanced sets rather than a single overflowing hoard. The result is a compact race that mixes dice timing, route planning, and set collection.
