Dragons vs Unicorns is an dual randomized game (dice and cards) where you can build dragon and/or unicorn armies. You are able to take 5 actions per turn, which starts as either drawing cards from your respective pile or playing connecting cards. Each creature has either a 3-card or a 5-card version which are different colors that will connect seamlessly. Once your army starts taking shape you can choose to Battle which will be the only action you can take on that turn. Once you have started a battle you must continue until either players attacked creature is defeated. Battles consist of rolling dice to determine the amount of hit points weighted against your opponent. When individual cards are defeated they are flipped over. Once all cards of the either creature are flipped over, the opposing player gets those cards as points. The game ends when either player can not build or battle and their card pile has been depleted. At the end of the game the players combine the defeated points earned and points of their surviving creatures and whoever has the most points wins.
