Description
The players each take different a role - prince, princess, juggler (x2) - and work together to retrieve treasures from the dragon's lair.
The game board shows the path to the dragon's lair, which is located on an island the players can only reach by a raft. Players roll and move their pieces, but there is a lucky and an unlucky side to the dice. If they roll the unlucky side, the dragon is moved and might capture them; if they roll the lucky side, they can move their own piece.
If a piece reaches one of various unlucky fields, it is stuck there and can only be freed by another player who announces a "lucky roll" - if successful (the die lands on one of the lucky sides), the stuck player can move out of his/her field. If unlucky, the dragon moves as usual.
The players must reach the dragon's island, retrieve the treasure and return to their home base to win.
Contents: 1 board, 4 pawns, 4 special dice, 1 dragon

Quotes (from this video)
- Accidental heroes is upcoming crowdfunding.
- Necroolds. Don't know if you ever heard of Necroles. It's basically a Play-Doh Morgan.
- Pirates of the High Tease is already out and Good Kitties and Super Chunk I believe are coming to crafting soon.

- Ghostfire Gaming. They're more known for RPGs. Not on this side, on this side. Uh, Ghostfire Gaming is more known for RPGs, but they do have Aberation and Companion Quest. They do have a few board games as well.
- Stellaris Infinite Legacy. I think it's finally coming, but it's been like 5 years. It's a It's one of those weird things about crowdfunding. At a certain point, you burn out your audience on how long they've been waiting for a thing that even when you deliver,
- Kingdom of Monster, they definitely have burnt out their audience and still managed to be successful.
- Lord of the Rings Ascension, which is basically Ascension, but with Lord of the Rings theming.
- And uh my personal favorite is Mythic Mischief.
- It's about an hour long video. Now I have to figure out whether I do a rapid fire shot through the hall or whether I actually leave me just talking for an hour and just rambling on and on and on.
