Dragonhunt is a fantasy board game published by Avalon Hill in 1982. The game is set in Arawan, a land periodically devastated by the dragon Brimstone. The players take on the roles of the rival Kings of Arawan, vying for control of the lands, in order to build an army of soldiers who will fight the dragon. Mystical beings wander across the map, helping or hindering forces. Once one player’s forces have wounded the dragon three times, the magical Magesword will be given to that player, who can use it to finally slay the dragon and win the game.
Dragonhunt is a classic board game that has been around for over 40 years. It is popular among board game enthusiasts who enjoy fantasy-themed games. The game is significant because it was one of the first board games to incorporate a fantasy theme and was published during a time when board games were becoming increasingly popular.
Dragonhunt includes the following components:
– Game board
– 6 Hero King playing pieces
– 6 Hero King cards
– 6 sets of army pieces (foot soldiers, archers, and knights)
– 1 dragon playing piece
– 1 dragon card
– 1 Magesword card
– 1 die
To set up the game, players place the game board on a flat surface and each player chooses a Hero King playing piece and corresponding Hero King card. Players then place their playing pieces on the board in their respective starting positions. The dragon playing piece is placed on the board in the dragon’s lair. The dragon card and Magesword card are placed face down on the board.
Players take turns rolling the die and moving their playing pieces around the board. Players can move their army pieces to capture territories and build their armies. The dragon moves around the board and can attack players’ armies. Players can also encounter mystical beings that can help or hinder their progress. The game ends when one player’s forces have wounded the dragon three times and that player is given the Magesword card. The player can then use the Magesword to slay the dragon and win the game.
The objective of Dragonhunt is to build an army of soldiers and defeat the dragon Brimstone. The winner of the game is the player who succeeds in slaying the dragon using the Magesword.
