Description
In Dragon's Hoard, each player plays a dragon hunting for treasure. Collect sheep from the farmer's fields and use them to buy treasures, but watch out! Other players will send angry mobs and wizards your way to stop you. Defend yourself and battle your way to riches.
In game terms, players draft cards from a common draw pile before taking their actions. You want to buy as many treasures as you can. Dragons buy treasures with sheep that they've collected, while opponents will play terrible actions against you to keep you from tendering those sheep. Battle to keep your treasure, while trying to stop your opponents from doing the same.
At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points from treasures and bonuses wins!

Pros
- Freedom to place cards almost anywhere.
- Cool concept with potential for expansion and variations.
- Neat theme.
Cons
- Every card has noise symbols that must be covered, guiding placement and feeling restrictive.
- The last half card must be placed last to cover all noise symbols, otherwise it's not possible.
Thematic elements
- Stealing treasures without making noise
- Dragon's Den
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card placement — Players place cards anywhere on the table with freedom, which is a core mechanic for covering symbols.
- End game scoring — Scoring is calculated at the end of the game based on covered and uncovered symbols.
- Set Collection — Collecting points from symbols like coins, glyphs, and diamonds.
- Variable scoring conditions — Different symbols (slimes, coins, glyphs, diamonds, noise tokens) have different scoring implications.

Quotes (from this video)
- I like this it's cool that you have like this freedom to like place your cards anywh you want.
- The one uh thing that I didn't sit extremely well with me is the fact that every card has these noise symbols right and that means you always need to cover the noise symbols so you guided a little bit of where to place the cards.
- With 35 points I'm right at the top of um the second to last worst scoring and that is 31 to 35 small bonus had I just one more point then I would at least be a decent stash.
