How to play and win the Dragon Dance?
Shuffle the 52 cards. Deal 7 cards to each player. 2-5 players can play with 1 stock. If you play 5-10 players, use two stocks.
The first card from the pile is turned over.
Who starts the game?
The player with the zodiac sign Dragon. If there is no such player, then the youngest player or the person who never played the game before.
- Scales Dragon card
- Dragon Head card
- Dragon Egg card
You have to play your cards and the player who played the last card, which must be a Dragon Head card wins the game.
But... If one of the other players on the table has a Dragen Egg card in the same colour of the played Dragon Head card, you can still stop the player to win the game.
The player takes a card from the pile and the game continue.
The cards have coloured boxes (the scales), which you place on top of each other with the correct color during a turn. The more squares you overlap with 1 card in 1, the more points you earn.
You can not place 1 single scale of a card on a Dragon Head because you may not behead the dragon.
If you can completely cover the dragon's head, that's fine and you get two points.
The game can be played without points, but you should also join if you can. If you play with points, you can also hold your cards tactically. You have to pay attention every round and it remains exciting until the last moment.
