What to Expect

In Dragons, players simultaneously try to quickly play cards from their five slots to build dragons in the center. These dragons consist of a tail, numbers 1 to 10, and a head. The fast-paced, simultaneous play creates a frenzy as everyone watches multiple dragon piles and races to get rid of their cards first.
