Fun, same premise as wingspan, but more complicated with a Dragon Guild that gives you little bonuses. There are 3 habitats like before, but you can hatch 4 dragons per habitat max. There are hatchlings, then small, medium, and large size dragons. Overall a pretty game.
I wasn't expecting a great game - I was just hoping for something fun and thematic. But it's hard to get past how thin the cardboard punchouts are, or how flimsy the cards are. The game also comes with stickers with arrows for you to put on the player piece bases. I'm not a fan of games where you have to apply the stickers yourself. It makes a cheap game look even cheaper.
The game is a classic. The quality of the pieces are top notch. Don’t hesitate, buy this game.
So 1st play of it, it felt very strange as we were barely doing anything, the game let's you do just one thing, draw pieces from the bag. Like many simpler Knizia titles this one's gameplay is revealed after few tries. The initial few turns are simpler, put the base of pagodas and score meditation points. Its when the third-floor comes in that people start using offerings and try to get more meditation points and every action you take might end up benefiting the other player, and around mid game its race to get the best scoring tile and to push your luck with higher floor.
Certainly not in my 10 Knizia games, but it stays in collection for now for the gameplay.
