Ravensburger presents The Year of The Dragon: 10th Anniversary Edition

In the game "In the Year of the Dragon," players assume the roles of Chinese rulers in the year 1000. The game consists of twelve rounds, each representing a month in a year that progressively worsens. As a ruler, you must face challenges such as disease, drought, and attacks from the Mongols. It is crucial to have enough money to offer a tribute to the Emperor.

The gameplay is simpler than it may seem. Each player possesses a set of "person" cards. In every round, players choose an action that utilizes their workers' abilities to prepare for the upcoming months. Then, they play a person card, recruiting that person and assigning them to one of their palaces. Each individual character brings unique skills and abilities that aid in surviving the year. For instance, farmers can harvest rice during a drought, while tax collectors raise money. At the end of each round, a monthly event is triggered, which may result in the loss of workers, money, or points.

Surviving in "In the Year of the Dragon" requires careful planning, but merely surviving does not guarantee victory. This 10th anniversary edition includes additional features such as "The Great Wall of China" and "The Super Events" expansions. It holds significant acclaim, being nominated for various awards and recognized for its excellence in gameplay.
