Dragon Valley is a strategy game set in the mythical Kingdom of
Corundia. A place overrun by Dragons and
Orcs. Now you and select others have
been chosen to lead the defenses of mountain passes in exchange for lands and
the title of Baron. Players will use buildings with special abilities, king’s
aid cards and units of Trebuchets, Archers, and Knights to defend against units
of Battering Rams, Orcs, and Dragons.

Each round in Dragon
Valley starts with an interesting twist.
The player with the lower score randomly selects three building tiles,
four king’s aid cards, and five units (a combination of good units and bad
units). That player will now divide
those items into piles. The other
players will now select which pile they would like to take to play. The dividing player will have last choice. Next units are deployed with good units going
to the keeps in their baronies and bad units to the mountain passes in their
region. Now each player gets their turn to
either move friendly units or build buildings before the enemies advance.
