Product Description
Wyrmspan is a competitive fantasy board game for 1–5 players where you build a dragon sanctuary across three caves, attract dragons to live there, and create stronger turns as your cave engine grows. On your turn, you will excavate, entice, or explore, balancing coins, eggs, resources, dragon cards, cave cards, and guild progress to score the most victory points by the end of the game.
