If you're a fan of classic card games, you're in for a treat. Slayers and Dragons is the ultimate trick-taking game, combining the timeless appeal of traditional card games with exciting new features that make it a truly one-of-a-kind experience. At its core, Slayers and Dragons has all the elements you love about other trick-taking games. It's easy to learn, yet offers endless strategic possibilities that keep players engaged and challenged.
But what sets Slayers and Dragons apart is its rotating partnership system, which ensures that even players with different skill levels can play together in a fair and balanced way. With Slayers and Dragons, every hand is a new adventure. Partners change with each deal, so even if you're playing with someone who's less experienced than you, you'll have the opportunity to team up with a stronger player in the next round. And because there's only one winner in each game, the stakes are always high and the competition is intense.
But what really makes Slayers and Dragons the greatest card game ever invented is the depth of strategy it offers. Unlike other trick-taking games, where players are often at the mercy of the deal, Slayers and Dragons allows even those with a bad dealt hand to win. Every move counts, and every decision has consequences. With Slayers and Dragons, you'll never be bored, and you'll never feel like you're just going through the motions.
Slayers and Dragons put a twist in Trick Taking with a Rotating Partner System
Avoid the Penalty Color to Stay Ahead
The dealer sets a penalty color each round. Every card of that color adds a point to your score; and in this game, the lowest score wins! Plan carefully and dodge the danger.
Stealthy Slayers
Slayers are dangerous... unless you capture them all! Watch your score rise, or flip the script for a -50 bonus.
Mighty Dragons
Hunt dragons to lower your score. Each one captured takes 3 points off your score.
Score Low, Win Big
You score together for the round, but as the dealer changes so can the partners.
Game ends when a player reaches -100 or 200.
The person with the lowest score is the winner!
