Read the full game description
Emerald sends rival bands of knights into a dragon’s mountain in a light, interactive treasure race. Moving a knight is governed by the number of figures sharing its space, creating a mancala-like rhythm in which every departure changes future options. Treasure rewards brave advances, but the mother dragon’s die-driven patrol can snatch exposed knights, so timing and pawn order matter until the last escape.
