Dragons vs Ogres Kickstarter Preview Gameplay & First Impressions

About Dragons vs Ogres, from BoardGameGeek:

Dragons vs Ogres is a fantasy themed two-player card game. It is a speed/dexterity game where players compete to capture the most villagers. It has elements of the card games War and Old Maid. In Dragons vs Ogres, players choose to play as either dragons or ogres and each have ten cards. They draw a hand of five cards to begin the game. A deck of forty villagers is placed at the center of the table. Players flip up a villager, one at a time. The fastest player to capture that villager scores one point. However, the card used to capture the villager must meet one of three conditions: Exceed the number Match the number Be the correct corresponding image Depending on which condition a player uses to capture a villager, they might return the dragon or ogre card used to their hand, discard it and draw a new card, or shuffle their discard pile back into their deck and draw back up to five cards. There are forty villagers and only twenty combined dragons and ogres. So each card must be used an average of two times in order to capture half the villagers. If one player runs out of cards, the other may keep playing until they are also out of cards. Players must be quick enough to beat their opponent to the villager but clever enough to make matches.
