Drachentreppe / Dragon stairs

Drachentreppe / Dragon Stairs  
by Werner Hodel

A game board in the form of a staircase, with steps to climb up?
Sure thing - that's Drachentreppe (Dragon Stairs), our new family game!

The game comes with magicians in different colors. With the luck of the dice and a bit of tactics, they climb up the stairs and collect as many dragon eggs as possible along the way.
An exciting race to the top and - if it's getting too crowded - also back down, since there is only room for two magicians on each step. And then there is also the friendly black dragon, plus the dragon eggs that are important for preventing many a fall and needed for entering the target space.
The courage to take risks and a bit of dice-rolling luck are crucial in determining which magicians will be the first to arrive at the target space. But the first ones are not necessarily the winners! having many dragon eggs also gives you a good chance. An enchanting dice game for big and small magic fans alike.
