Description
Dragons, knights, trolls, princesses, dwarves, and other fantasy characters make up the world of Dragonheart. Dragons are searching for treasure, of course, but they're being pursued by dragon hunters, and those are the two sides that face off in this game. On a turn, a player plays one or more cards with the same motif, then refills his hand to five cards. The cards are always played onto the part of the game board that has the same motif. By laying out cards, a player collects point cards that are already present. This is how the dragon collects treasure cards, for example, but the third dragon hunter defeats the dragon, while a second knight protects the princess. Other combinations await the players, and whoever collects the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a game I very much adore.
- It's my top 10 characters I enjoy playing. I feel good while I'm playing them. It has nothing to do with how powerful they are, how weak they are.
- They feel good to me. They feel like they're characters in many ways, the the the the comic characters they're attempting to represent.
- It feels broken a little bit.
- This is my top 10 heroes in Marvel Champions.
- It is just These are characters I very much enjoy bringing to the table, shuffling up and playing. They feel good to me.
- I love the idea of progression in Marvel Champions. That That feeling of your character getting better and better at whatever it is that they do.
- Ironheart, my number two, literally does this by upgrading her card, the card that represents you in the game, by taking her card here from version one of the Ironheart suit to version two, to eventually version three, which is tremendously overpowered basically.
- You're you're racing the villain to see who can outpace the other.
- The characters that play risky tend not to be my favorites. The characters that really tow the line where you're living dangerously for lack of a better term.
- My number one is the character that I guess the exception that proves the rule, let's call it, and it is also happens to be one of my favorite, thematically one of my favorite characters in the game, and that is Wolverine.
- Wolverine has an ability here where at the beginning of your round you get to heal two damage, which is tremendous, but the reason for that is because you're going to be taking a whole bunch of damage with your claws.
- this whole paying for cards things, that's for the birds. I'm going to live dangerously by spending my life total to be able to drop this card that costs four for free, and I still have all my cards left.
- It's insane, it feels tremendous.
- My favorite character in the game. That is Logan i.e. Wolverine.
