Game Setup

To start, players must choose which of the six dragons to play as. Each dragon has a unique set of spells that only they can cast.

There are six elemental dragons: Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, and Metal. If two players want to use the same dragon, they must roll dice to decide who gets first pick.

Board Setup

Place these items around the game board:

• The Movement Deck, Treasure Deck, and Dragon Rider Deck, all shuffled separately and face-down
• Draw the top three Dragon Rider cards and place them face-up next to one of the dragon rider pickup areas. Repeat for the pickup area on the other side of the board.
• Place the appropriate Stock Cards face-up on top of each of the three villages. These cards indicate which items can be bought in that village this round.

Place these items in front of each player:

• 1 Hoard Tracker card (all six are identical)
• The Dragon Card of your chosen elemental dragon
• 10 coins onto the Hoard area of your tracker - all players get 10 coins to start with.
• 5 six-sided dice in your dragon's color
• One Fatigue Counter and one Rage Counter
• 1 Roost Token

Turn Order

Roll to Decide Turn Order. Each player rolls 2 dice, and the highest result goes first. If there is a tie for the highest roll, those players roll additional die until the tie is broken.

After the first player, turn order proceeds around the table in a clockwise order.

Starting the First Round

To start the first round, deal out four Movement cards from the deck to each player. Starting with the player going first, each player can choose to take a Mulligan by exchanging any two of their Movement cards to look at the top two cards of the deck, take one, and put the other back on top.

As each player takes their first turn, that player places their dragon on the central village of Merkezi to begin the game.
