What it is

A card-driven engine builder for Wingspan fans who want a little more to chew on. Each round you spend six coins to excavate caves, entice dragons into them, or send an adventurer down a row for rewards. A guild track adds a side race for bonuses, and public objectives score after every round. We think it suits anyone who loves the original and fancies a slightly harder cousin.

What we love

  • Caves must be dug out before dragons can move in
  • The Explore action shines, paying you as your adventurer passes each dragon
  • 183 dragon cards with handsome art

Honest trade-offs

  • The guild track can feel bolted on
  • Some critics find the dragon theme thin and the resources interchangeable
