The Hunt for The Dragon Throne Board Game | for Kids Ages 8+ | Family Board Games for 2 to 4 Players | 45-60 Minutes Playing Time | Fun & Interactive Board Games for Family Night and Game Events

Quick set up and fake play with LOTS of scenarios. We’ve enjoyed it.

Game was challenging enough to keep the family entertained for several sessions and also able to be adapted with extra rules suggested by 2 boys (ages 9 and 11) who are experienced board game players. It had good quality pieces / board and clear instructions, overall very happy with purchase.

Great game, good quality, kids love it.

I bought this for my class, aged 9ish to lay to encourage social skills. They love it as it's easy to understand and fun for them.

Original review 4/29/23, see update at bottom…We played this Hunt for the Dragon Throne game with our two grandsons, currently aged 6.5 and almost 8 years old. The older one was hyped to play this because he is into dragons. After seeing all the cool game pieces and such, the actual gameplay was a let-down. The younger one said “This is boring…” several times, except when he was in the lead of course.The gameplay level seems appropriate for kids around 7 or 8 years old. Above average 6 year olds should be fine with this. Kids 9 or older would probably only play if they particularly like the dragon or adventuring theme or want to stick with simpler games.Players are trying to be the first to move to the end of a path that is a bit over 100 spaces. Along the way most spaces have a simple good or bad effect. Some spaces result in roll-offs with other players, one of the dragons or a chance to buy items. Players have health points and if all those are lost the player must restart. Weapons can be obtained to help win battles or other items that have benefits.The player pieces are plastic miniatures 2” tall and the Dragon Throne itself is about 4” tall. While older players might not play this without a kid, I can see imaginative young ones playing this by themselves.Update of 10/18/23…Currently (as I write this update) the seller’s images of the main character cards show different character attribute values when compared to the game unit which I have. See the images that I uploaded of the cards from my copy. See the image in the seller listing of different values.Comparing: My copy versus the seller listing for Health (H), Attack (A), and Weapon (W) Brutus the Warrior: Seller image 3H 2A 1W vs my copy 4H 1A 1W (change H with A) Laverna the Thief: Seller image 3H 2A 1W vs my copy 2H 2A 2W (change W with H) Artemis the Archer: Seller image 3H 2A 1W vs my copy 3H 2A 1W (both the same) Selene the Wizard: Seller image 1H 2A 1W vs my copy 2H 3A 1W (diff of 1 in H and A)Why is this important?This makes a difference in how interesting and challenging it is to play each character, albeit the game isn’t very challenging overall. With the seller image version, 3 of the characters have identical attributes and Selene the Wizard is simply weaker than the others. Players who get the wizard start at a disadvantage.In the production copy that I have, there is more “character” to each character. Players need to manage their strengths and weaknesses. In gaming lingo, these characters are asymmetric, and most folks see that as more interesting. The one peculiar item is that the Warrior is weaker in combat than the other players, which seems inconsistent with his role. The seller image version does not have that peculiarity, but at the tradeoff of all characters now being identical in combat.It is possible that the seller image is from a preproduction prototype and the attribute values in my copy are what is in the production run. I don’t know what is in the currently sold copies.My point here is that you should see what cards are in the copy you receive. If they are the version in the seller image, then consider using sticker labels to change to the values as in my copy. You could use small bits of Post-It note style or dot stickers. I think most people will find it more interesting to have differences among the characters.
