Description

The Dragon & Flagon is a tavern world-renowned for its most magical drink, The Dragon. Legend has it that one sip of The Dragon can give a hero wondrous abilities beyond their wildest dreams — but with a tavern full of thirsty adventurers and only one flagon left, things are bound to go wrong. Prepare your magic and grab your weapon because there's only one true objective in this brawl — and it's not just a sip of The Dragon. Only one can win and emerge with the reputation as the greatest fighter ever seen within the walls of The Dragon & Flagon!

The Dragon & Flagon is a game of chaos and mayhem for 2-8 players. Throw mugs, smash chairs, swing from the chandelier, sip from the legendary Dragon Flagon, cast spells, and pull the rug out from under your fellow adventurers as you attempt to build up your reputation and win the day!

Play as one of nine unique characters in a 3D tavern environment that can be set up differently every time. Multiple play modes add even more variety.

Will you leave with the greatest reputation from The Dragon & Flagon?

Quotes (from this video)
  • Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria. The Valeria games keep getting better as the time goes by and this was a pretty solid one.
  • Ankh: Gods of Egypt. I know this is some people's favorite of the trilogy of Blood Rage, Rising Sun. It's not mine.
  • Roll Through the Ages: The Bronze Age. There's a lot of great roll and writes out there. Um Yahtzee of course is one of the OGs, but this is also one of the original games and I think it holds up very well.
  • So Clover. What a fantastic party game. This is one of those games that when you get it right, everyone at the table is just so excited that figured it out.
  • Links. And this is from Play to Z. And this is about trapping links. I'm not I don't love the theme, but it and it but it felt like a stock market game. it just wasn't very fun.
  • Mycology, a game about mushrooms. The guy who designed it loves mushrooms, but I don't know about the game.
  • Queen's New Capital, I almost liked this one, but there's just too much going on in it. A little chaotic, and honestly, this Queen's New Capital has been replaced by ironically, the King's Crown.
  • Wine Cellar, a game with really giant cards here. Kind of a drafting game. I don't think it works well the full count of players, but with every other count, I I enjoy this drafting game.
  • The Other Links, uh this one here is about Tetris, dropping Tetris shapes into a thing, and that worked pretty well. I liked it.
  • 12 Rivers has a gimmick of rolling marbles down. It's a fun gimmick. Um but it also has some good decision space. It's not a very complex game, easy for people who haven't played many games, I think they would enjoy it.
  • Jungo or Jungo, I this is a great little, very simple card game. Um trying to get rid of all the cards in your hand, but sometimes picking up them so that you can play a bigger hand later on. Found that to be a lot of fun.
  • Star Wars: Battle of Hoth. What a fantastic uh game. Star Wars: Battle of Hoth is Memoir '44 Star Wars, something I've wanted for years, and I finally got it. So exciting. And it was exactly what I wanted it to be.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Pap, you still haven't received your Tekkaido that you backed at a pretty high amount because you got your own character in the game.
  • It's funny. We we talked about that at some point. Just like the humor, like the humor of doing something like a pep talks where I would talk about, you know, like some advice for particular games and it's something I like that. I like that. I love that idea of a pep talk.
  • Rebel Mage here uh, left a message just said, "Pep, just want to say you're a great co-host for watching play. Keep up the good work."
  • For me, it's probably going to be Star Realms. Star Realms is very high on here as well for me. Um, but I kind of want to skip that just because of how repeatable Star Realms is anyway. And I'm going to go to Sheriff of Nottingham.
  • Uh, this is self- serving, but I would dress up as a Mounty and be my character from the Dead of Winter promo that's in the fundraiser.
  • I'd want to find something I already look like and kind of like I wouldn't just go as my favorite character. I'd go as a character that I think I that I could that I could best look even kind of naturally almost, right?
  • Yes, we talk about it somewhat frequently actually. Like, oh, we should probably cover some of the old older classics. Yeah, cuz there are still people today who pick up those games and and want to uh learn how to play them, right?
  • Every game. But the one that always comes to mind for me is uh Pathfinder and any game that's kind of trying to do what the Pathfinder adventure card game is doing because in that game whenever you level up and complete missions, you get like draw a random item out of the box or do this or do that.
  • Like Seall has something similar to that. They have an emnity thing. If you attack someone then they remember that other players remember that in in the game's mechanics and then that comes back to haunt you later or whatever.
  • The whole idea of under Mountain is like it's constantly shifting and like it's the surroundings are changing. So every time you go down, things will be a little different anyway. So it' be really cool to make like a legacy style dungeon exploring thing around the end of that naturally.
