It's not often that a luck-based game grabs my attention this much, but we have been having a blast with this one, especially this time of year when the New Years vibes are in the air. Knizia shows his versatility in this design. He utilizes his classic numbers/colors formula that we have seen in his other designs, but instead of creating a masterful mathy game of strategic genius like he usually does, he creates a gambling game that relies heavily on betting and luck. Yet it's equally fun! When your seller ends up on the same space as the dragon, it feels like hitting the jackpot, and it's so addictive! I recommend trying this with 4 or 5 players for maximum enjoyment! _Note: Even though I covered most of the rules, I still recommend reading the rulebook for the little stuff._ *VIDEO CLARIFICATIONS:* The deck consists of red and yellow cards numbered 1-8. It has two of each color and two of each number. Also, the larger money tokens are worth 5, and the smaller money tokens are worth 1. I forgot to show those things in the video. *Follow on Instagram @ Undiscovered_Games* for cool photos, written reviews, and other undiscovered games that didn't make it to my YouTube channel. *For business inquiries,* _send a DM on Instagram, or message me @ Undiscovered_Games on BGG._ _This video is NOT sponsored.

About Dragon Parade, from BoardGameGeek:

Dragon Parade is a simple game by Reiner Knizia which is played on a small, beautifully decorated board depicting Chinese New Year fireworks in and around the Forbidden City. Players alternate playing cards to move the dragon pawn back and forth along the street in front of the Forbidden Palace: red cards to move it one direction, yellow to move it the other. Each player gets a random hand of six movement cards and will play only four of them before the dragon's final position is settled. Players individually deploy their three pawns ("street sellers") somewhere along the red/yellow number line, one at a time after each of the first three cards played, in the effort to be nearest to the dragon once it stops moving. Then coins (VP) are collected by each street seller depending on proximity to the dragon, the top payoff of 5 going only to the pawn on the exact same space. You play as many hands as there are players, with each player going first once. It's a game of groupthink and should move pretty quickly once everyone gives in to the idea that it's not an exact science!
