Way of the Dragon

Way of the Dragon

  • Description

    This is the ultimate race between the five elements. The earth dragons, the water tortoises, the metal tigers, the fire birds and the wood dragons cross the way of the Great Celestial Dragon to gain immortality.

    The goal of the game is to get your five pieces as far as possible through the five paths when the game ends. This happens when at least one of the players has reached the end of the five paths.

    Néstor's design goal was to create a multiplayer "filler" that used some well known mechanics/categories (so non-gamers can get it easily) combined in a different way:

    • The set collection mechanic of Yahtzee.
    • Racing.
    • Roll and move.
    • Balanced scoring (using the 5 chinese basic elements).
    • Variable player powers.

    The result is a tense 2-5 player racing game with a light dose of "cutthroat" that plays in less than half an hour. It comes in Format 1.
