Setting up for your first game of Drago’s Dreamland adventure board game

If you are reading this you probably have a copy of Drago’s Dreamland. The rules are quite simple for the first game, and can get more complicated with extra cards added. This post is a quick visual instruction for playing your 1st game.

Pop out the tokens (wisdom points and treasure items)

Sort the character cards

Remove the Animal Companion and Pixie Boot Power cards

Remove the Sacred Site cards

Leave just the 6 Rainbow Pixie character cards

and choose your character

Separate the coloured encounter packs into piles

Put 4 Wisdom Points onto the Sacred Site units (x6)

Put you coloured marker to match your character on the 'Pixie Palace'

Take a score card

Put 1 sunjar, 1 sword, 1 food, 1 coin on your score card

GOAL: leave home - collect 20 wisdom points - return home

NOW TO START: roll the dice and choose where to move

Sacred Sites are the fastest way to collect wisdom

Sacred Sites with wisdom on them are open

Travel forward along any path, turning at the bends, choose where you travel, and decide which unit to land on

What ever colour you land on is the coloured card you collect

Read the card aloud

Follow the card instructions

Gain or trade wisdom points and treasure items from your score card

Move units forward or backward

When you have 20 wisdom points you can return home

But you must get the exact dice roll, or a lucky card

First player home is the winner
