Dragonwood is one of those games that hits all the marks. It’s easy to learn, fun to play, and has a high replay value. The art is amazing and it taps into that childhood imagination. Because of all this, and because of my youngest’s contagious love of play, he soon found himself with a Dragonwood gang. Every morning, when we arrived at the pool, he’d have friends asking, “Did you bring it today? Did you bring Dragonwood?” Together, the little buddies would run off to the basketball court for a morning of Dragonwood. During the game, when the draw pile is used up, shuffle the discard pile and turn it over for a new draw pile. This second card may be used or discarded. Your turn is then over. If either of the cards drawn are another Draw 2 card, the Draw 2 sequence starts again. The Draw 2 Power Card gives the player an option to take two more turns. During their turn, they draw from the draw pile. The first turn, they may discard the card drawn and continue to their second turn, or they may use the card that was drawn and forfeit their second turn.
