Drakon 3rd Edition

When I saw this game I had high hopes for a dungeons and dragons type adventure, that was quick to play, but with plenty of variety to keep you interested. I have to admit that I was sceptical but figured it was worth chancing. I wasn't disappointed.

I won't go into details about whats in the box and how you play, you can find that online, what you can't always see is if it's any good. Personally I like games that have depth to them in terms of variety; how different one game is to the next. Because of the large selection random tiles, the effects one tile can have on another, you get great changeability, the fact that you can change played tiles as you go along means you can create loops to help yourself, but they can also be broken and led into danger.

There are lots of elements to make this game interesting, there is even an advanced game option to let you get further involved. But the thing that appealed to me was how straight forward this is. Although it takes a short while to get used to what everything does, the game itself is simple and once familiar, turns can be taken very quickly. Don't get me wrong there is a time and a place for the complex games, but when you're just not in the mood, this game can still appeal.
