Rounds and Actions

A typical game of UberDrakes last for three rounds. A round lasts for as many turns as needed, until all players have Roosted for the round. At the end of three rounds, the player with the most Victory Points wins the game.

A three-round game should last approximately 2 hours. You can easily adjust the length of the game to be shorter by playing only 2 rounds, or as many extra rounds as you want - it's up to you!

Turn Actions

Each player takes one to three Actions on their turn. After the third action, or if the player ends their turn early, play passes to the next player to their left that hasn't roosted. If there is only one player left who hasn't roosted, they may keep taking turns until they decide to roost.

The player currently taking their turn is called the Active Player. The active player activates spaces they stop on, can trigger combat by moving next to other dragons, and wins ties in combat.

You can take the following actions:

• Moving using a General Movement on your hoard card
• Moving by playing a Movement Card
• Using or equipping an Item
• Casting a Spell
• Exchanging Blood Points for any number of bonuses
• Equip an item from your hand (for items that need to be equipped)

At the end of your turn, you decide whether or not to Roost for the round. You automatically roost if you didn't (or can't) take at least one action. Players who have roosted don't take any more turns for the rest of the round. Once all players have roosted, the round ends.

Starting the Next Round

Once all players have roosted, the round ends. If it's the last round, then the player with the most victory points wins the game. If there's a tie, see The Endgame.

If it's not the last round, each player does the following:

• Gain the effect of the space you roosted on (see Spaces)
• Discard your used Movement cards into the discard pile and draw four new Movement cards. Take a mulligan if needed. If you have any unused Movement cards still in your hand, keep them.
• Place all the coins you used on general movement actions back into your hoard. You may use these again next round.
• Remove one Fatigue counter from your card. All players heal one point of Fatigue at the start of a round.

Once every player's hoard card has been reset, the next round begins, with the turn order continuing with the next player after the last one to roost in the previous round.
