Read the full game description

Keydom's Dragons is a worker-placement and auction game set in Richard Breese's Key universe. Each player directs eight townsfolk toward treasure-filled caves, helpful town locations, or the guarded castle. Strength and bluffing determine who recovers each hoard, while coins and gems become bids for valuable artefacts. Solo and two-player rules add automated pressure, and the winner is the player whose collection brings the greatest renown.
