Description

Welcome to the world of Russian fairytales! Fire-breathing dragon Zmei Gorynich and a beautiful princess lived in a high terem (tower) until hordes of greedy knights attracted by hidden riches disturbed the peace.

Help Gorynich to defend the princess and the goods in the enthralling cooperative game. Each round secretly draft the action to program the movement of the dragon. Gorynich can fly around the board, burn the knights and use special maneuvers to cast fireballs, choose any direction or return to terem by the call of the princess. However, treacherous knights respond with counter-maneuvers and inexorably march to the terem. When all the players made their choice, reveal the action tiles and watch the battle!

The players win if they defeated all the knights and lose if any defender reached the princess, the dragon moved beyond the edges of the board or a reckless attack burned the terem.

And for the most capable dragons there is advanced mode with additional maneuvers and even more challenging board!
