Dragon Farkle Board Game by Z-Man Games

The various races of Yon have always enjoyed peace (except for an uncontested goblin raid or two), until a dragon appeared. This dragon terrorized locals and livestock until several wannabe heroes rose up from the mud (truly, for they were mud farmers), and decided to end the evil. Gathering companions and soldiers along the way, they fought their way to the Dragon's Keep until one hero defeated the dragon, restoring peace and unmelted cheese to the land. At least, that's how the story goes...

For nearly a century, the land of Yon has operated basically in peace (despite the occasional uncontested goblin raid or two). However, recently a dragon was spotted terrorizing the locals and you have decided it is time to become the hero your guidance counselor always thought you could be. A new twist on an old classic, Dragon Farkle is a pick up and play dice and card game of 2-5 "wannabe heroes" in a race to rally enough soldiers and defeat the dragon (or at least prevent the others from succeeding).

Zero to Hero

A ferocious and mean-spirited dragon has disrupted the long peace of Yon. He's terrifying the locals and eating their livestock without permission! As a wannabe hero and for-real mud farmer, this is your chance to make a name for yourself. In Dragon Farkle, players compete to be the first to slay the evil beast. Throughout their journeys, players roll dice to gather soldiers, brawl each other's armies, and eventually march on the Dragon's Keep for a final showdown. Whoever succeeds at this task will become a legend (with all the publishing rights contained therein, naturally). They will be regaled as a hero for all-time, their name living on in the songs of future generations. The rest will still be mud farmers.

Grow your Forces

You may be new to this hero thing, but you know you can't take on the dragon all by yourself. You'll need an army to back you up. To build armies and prepare to face the dragon, you'll roll dice. The better your rolls, the more troops you recruit. But push your luck too far and the dragon could come and gobble up some of your recruits—or, worse yet, you could lose all the soldiers you've recruited that turn. If recruiting soldiers isn't your thing, you could always try to steal some from another player—no one said you had to be an honorable wannabe hero. If you build a large enough army, collect enough hopefully-not-cursed Magic Items, and hire enough brawny companions, the dragon won't have a chance. Hopefully.
