Object of the Game
Players try to collect as many lizards as possible from atop the sleeping dragon without causing any golden eggs to fall.
What's in the Box
- 1 Sleeping Dragon
- 15 Golden Eggs
- 29 Lizards
- 4 Pinchers
Setup
- Place the sleeping dragon in the middle of the play area.
- Place all 29 lizards on top of the dragon, and then carefully place up to 15 eggs on top of the lizards.
- Each player is given a pincher.
- The person who has most recently seen a lizard goes first.
Four-Player Setup (diagram): Player One's pincher, Player Two's pincher, the Sleeping Dragon in the centre, Player Three's pincher and Player Four's pincher are placed around the dragon, one per player.
How to Play
During the game players collect lizards, which are worth one point each, no matter which color you choose. Any golden eggs that fall off the dragon are also collected, and take away one point each.
On your turn, use your pincher to remove one of the lizards from the dragon:
- If you are successful, place the lizard in front of you. Well done!
- Any other lizards that are attached to the one you remove are also placed in front of you.
- If any lizards or eggs fall off the dragon during your attempt, your turn ends. You may keep any lizards that are still attached to your pincher, but must also keep any eggs that have fallen during your turn.
After making your attempt, your turn ends and it is the next player's turn.
End of the Game
The game ends when all lizards have been removed from the dragon.
Players return one lizard to the box for each egg they received. If a player has more eggs than lizards, then all their lizards are returned to the box.
Each player then counts their remaining lizards. The player with the most lizards wins the game!
Scoring example (as printed):
- Player One: 7 Lizards – 2 Eggs = 5 Lizards
- Player Two: 8 Lizards – 1 Egg = 7 Lizards
- Player Three: 5 Lizards – 0 Eggs = 5 Lizards
- Player Four: 9 Lizards – 3 Eggs = 6 Lizards
Player Two wins the game!
