• The objective of the game is for the Dragon Slayer to slay all Dragons. If the Dragon Slayer dies, the Dragons win, at which point, a battle between Dragons to the death occurs, so one Dragon emerges as the winner.

Roles

• There must be at least one Dragon Slayer and one Dragon. There may only be one Dragon Slayer.

Cards

• The cards of Three-Dragon Ante have values for attack, health, and luck. Non-character cards may also require treasure if a Dragon plays them.

Character Cards

• Each deck contains 6 Dragon Slayer character cards, and 12 Dragon cards. These cards will contain the attack, health, and luck for each player of the game.

Action Cards

• Each deck contains 24 action cards that are played by characters on their turn in exchange for attack, health, or luck from their character.

Temporal Cards

• Each deck contains 4 temporal cards that alter characters.

World Effect Cards

• Each deck contains 12 world effect cards which alter the rules of the game.

How To Play

2. Each player draws 6 cards from the pile of all other cards.
3. A player will play up to one card from their hand.
4. The game goes until there is one player remaining.
