Legend has it that eight mighty Dragons once rose from the mountains as darkness swept across Sinistra and Dextra. They drove out the evil and restored peace. Since then, they have guarded the two kingdoms. A new generation of Dragons is rising. You are one of them. And you don't fly alone. Dragon Swarm placement meets lair building. Minimal downtime. Maximum Dragon time. In 8 Dragons you play a mighty Dragon soaring across two kingdoms. But you don't fly alone. Your Wyrmlings have just hatched and are eager to fly. You form Swarms, with your own Wyrmlings and those of the other Dragons. On your turn, you visit wondrous locations and activate effects for yourself and every Wyrmling in your Swarm. When your Wyrmlings fly with others, you benefit from their turns too. Along the way, friendly villagers help you expand your Lair, chamber by chamber. Collect artifacts, fulfill Missions, and hoard as much Gold as you can. And as befits true dragons: whoever hoards the most Gold wins.
