Dragon Riders

Using your movement, your goal is to pick up Dragon Riders and drop them off at their requested destination. You earn one Victory Point for each rider you successfully deliver to the correct destination. Each rider will wish to be taken to a specific type of Element Space, and offer a special reward for your services.

Picking Up Riders

To pick up a Dragon Rider, head to one of the two Pickup Spaces on the board. You can choose one of the three rider cards on that side of the board to pick up. Put that card into your hand, then draw the next rider card and place it at that pickup point.

You can only carry one Dragon Rider at a time. You must drop off your current rider before picking up another one.

Rider Elements & Classes

Each rider has an Element, a Class, and a set of Bonuses. There are six elements and six classes for a total of 36 Dragon Rider cards in the game.

• The rider must be taken to one of the spaces matching its element to be dropped off. You can pick up and drop off riders of any element - not just your dragon's.
• A rider's Class determines the reward you earn when they are dropped off:
  • Healer: 1 coin + heal one Fatigue
  • Mage: 1 coin + 3 Magic tokens
  • Merchant: 4 coins
  • Prospector: 1 coin plus look at the top two Treasure cards, take one, and put the other on the top or bottom of the deck
  • Monk: 1 coin + draw a Movement card
  • Warrior: 1 coin + one combat item of your choice (Rage Potion, Long Bow, Hide Shield, Hookshot, or Dragon Lance)
• The element symbols along the left side of the card grant a +1 combat bonus against those elements, both while carrying the rider and after they are dropped off successfully.
• You gain an additional +1 combat bonus for each rider you've dropped off, or are currently carrying, that matches your dragon's element.

Delivering Riders

While carrying a Dragon Rider, you must pass through the Portal, then stop on the rider's desired elemental space to drop them off. Passing through the Portal causes you to take a point of Fatigue. You can't use the Portal if your Fatigue is maxed out at 3.

Upon dropping off a rider, you gain 1 victory point and the reward shown on that rider card, then you teleport to the village of your choice. Place your dropped-off rider cards face-up in front of you to keep track of your score and any rewards or bonuses.

Losing Riders

Be careful! When your Fatigue meter is at 3, your dragon rider will be knocked off if you take any additional fatigue. Keep a Rest Potion handy to make sure you aren't caught off guard by your opponents!
