Dragonwood by Gamewright is a thrilling board game that combines dice rolling with strategy and daring. Players must use their wits to collect the most Dragonwood points by capturing enchanted woods and battling fierce opponents. The game is suitable for 2 or more players aged 8 and up, and has won the Mensa Select Award in 2015. The game is set in a fantasy world of horror and monsters, fairytales, and strategy, and is made of cardboard, paper, and plastic materials. With the Dragonwood game, players can experience a unique adventure every time they play.
The kids all loved playing it from 3 years (with alot of adult help) to 13 (who could make decisions on how to play individually). Once we all understood the rules, we started adding our own role playing phrases when capture attempts were won or lost etc, to add to the game and create another dimention.
All the children asked to play again the following night. Great for teaching adding up and for the older kids they had to work out how much they were likely to roll depending on how many dice the were using.
