Dragonslayers is a strategic card game pitting four brave heroes against an apex predator.
GENRE: Strategy Card Game
PLAYERS: 4
CREATE YOUR HERO
Pick a character trait and synergize your strengths and weaknesses with a unique weapon. Will you fight with a brutish warhammer or a nimble dagger?
MAKE YOUR MOVE
Where will you attack the dragon? How will you use your weapon? Coordinate with your companions before you roll the die.
DEFEND YOUR COMPANIONS
Your only chance of survival lies in collaboration. Use magic items to bolster the strength of your fellow heroes or inflict a curse upon the vicious beast.
This project spun off from a rapid prototyping assignment I received at the Cologne Game Lab. My intention was to adapt the 4v1 dragon battles of Dragon Age Inquisition into a card game, capturing the sense of camaraderie and empowerment in an epic setting.
After the great success of the initial playtesting sessions, I decided to pursue the project further, testing and tweaking one variable at a time.
