But I still took the time to paint all the miniatures and to buy extra, at now inflated prices.

They keep asking to play it again. However we edited the game and speeded it up by taking out the 2 Confusion cards, and making rules that if you land on a city or anchor space you get a bit of knowledge, and if you land on a dragon space you get 2 bits of knowledge. We also play it in teams so 2 or 3 players team up and share all of their bits of knowledge and tickets that they’ve been collecting. They still have their own individual player pieces to move around the board and they still take individual turns rolling the die and moving around the board and doing things. But it’s a lot of fun to compete in teams of 2 or 3 against the other team(s) and strategize with your teammates about how to use your team’s bits of knowledge and tickets, and how to each move around the board to get your team closer to winning. The Master Claw card is pretty messed up lol but there’s lots of dragons to “master” so you COULD find another one to master and that makes it part of the challenge. I personally really enjoy this game now with the edits we made to game play. Oh also we like to play the game while listening to dragon related music such as “Puff the Magic Dragon” or the How To Train Your Dragon soundtrack. :) and I own the Dragonology book so it’s fun to compare the pictures and info in there with the game. I love dragons and the kids I play the game with all think the little dragon pieces are so cool and they’re so excited to “master” one of them. I played the game once with one other adult, just the two of us, and I found the game to be really long and boring and tedious like you said in this review. But with the edits we made, the kids and I are really really enjoying it now. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-63535131196763656622020-04-25T04:00:29.929-07:002020-04-25T04:00:29.929-07:00I bought this at Origins two years ago based almos...I bought this at Origins two years ago based almost solely on the art. Unfortunately, I think the art is actually a detriment. The iconography and colors are not conducive to pick up and play.<br /><br />On the flip side, once you've grokked the game, it does play fairly smooth and it is fun.<br /><br />Kevin Jameshttps://pingpongbros.com/reviews/best-trivia-board-games/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-85161624801212769342020-04-04T01:56:56.254-07:002020-04-04T01:56:56.254-07:00Hi!

I am thinking about having each player go to a different group of places and throw the question out to everyone else when they arrive with them earning the card, but others earning a token. Also you could play where you have to answer a trivia for wherever you land, although it might be hard to find the cards.

My spinner is not oogie boogie, just a normal plastic arrow spinner which is unfortunate. I doubt I’ll ever play this with anyone. Still happy with the game pieces and will keep it because I’m a collector(pack rat).Amblurrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499313871536100169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-45269783422262986982020-01-10T04:57:20.181-08:002020-01-10T04:57:20.181-08:00Wow i loved itWow i loved itMr Frudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848422570312855737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-6747109467743513942019-12-28T03:28:08.511-08:002019-12-28T03:28:08.511-08:00I have used this game as a primer to teaching ches...I have used this game as a primer to teaching chess to my grandchildren. First they treat it as draughts/checkers, then slowly understanding comes of looking ahead one or more moves. When that happens I move them onto chess. I bought quantum in 1978.
