The Game:

You and other powerful wizards have gathered at the Castle Keep for the annual Dragon Derby Festival with but one goal: choose the winning Dragon and take home the largest coin purse! Will strategy. timing, spellcasting and a wee bit of luck bring you victory? 

A fun and fast-moving family table top game for 2 - 8 players, ages 8+. Playtime 45-60 minutes. Cheer: Huzzah! Wager! Cast Wild Magic! When the first Dragon crosses the finish line, the Wizard with the largest horde of Crowns wins. This is:

The Art:
As the game became a reality, renowned Hawai'i cartoonist Jon J. Murakami designed original art for the game board, cards, packaging and printed rulebook. His brilliantly whimsical designs add an extra layer of vivid fun to the game.

The Process:
Playtesting with veteran gamers was conducted at events around Lake Geneva, WI., the birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons and its (and Heidi's) creator Gary Gygax.

The Box!:

  • Six 3D stackable Dragons of various colors (Red, Blue, Green, Black, White, and Yellow).
  • Six dice (6 sided) in various colors (Red, Blue, Green, Black, White, and Yellow - 1 for each dragon).
  • Bag of Holding from which the 6-sided dice will be drawn when a Wizard cheers to move the dragons on their turn.
  • One 6 sided die with each face representing a different color of dragon, used to choose the impacted dragon when a random Wild Magic spell is cast (drawn from deck).
  • 48 Dragon cards (8 sets x 6 unique) to denote each dragon. Each player (Wizard) starts with a set with their chosen Wizard image on one side and one each of the six dragons on the other. These are used for Wagering.
  • 28 Wild Magic cards. Players may use their turn to draw one Wild Magic cards in an attempt to influence the race. Beware, the magic is unpredictable and the results may surprise you!
