Print Status

Why It's On The List
- the name means "Magic Sword & Dragon Egg" - and it's a fantasy-themed game of auctions, negotiation and engine-building that has won my two sons over
Tips & Tricks:
- There are two components to playing Z&D well:.
- remember that you can negotiate - but never trust that the player following you in the turn order will honor your deal
- remember there is a certain level of engine-building that must be done in order to be successful - just saving up energy to zap monsters for victory points will not win you the game
- I am a huge fan of both expansion boxes - they add some great twists to the base system that increase the variety of paths to victory. They do, admittedly, add some length to the game.
- Helden & Zauberspruche ("Heroes & Spells")
- Wissen & Artefakte ("Knowledge & Artifacts")
Extras
- I haven't written much about this game, either... sigh.
