Particularly, it is not a CCG: There are no random cards in any expansion. It can thus be regarded as the first LCG, although it doesn't use that term yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is set in the fictional world of Blue Moon, where different peoples fight for dominance of the world and the favor of the Dragons.\u003cbr\u003eEach people has its own unique traits and gameplay mechanics, and is represented by a 30 card deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard game box contains the 'Vulca' and the 'Hoax' decks, a small gameboard and three small plastic dragon miniatures, used as scoring counters in the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther decks can be bought separately as expansions with 31 or 30 cards each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"Rules_overview_from_the_official_rules\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"toc0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRules overview from the official rules:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game consists of independent consecutive fights.

The other player is the winner of the fight and attracts a number of\u003cbr\u003edragons. Both players remove all their cards from their combat and support areas and place them onto their face up\u003cbr\u003ediscard pile. The retreating player then starts the next fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually, the game ends when one player runs out of cards and retreats from the last fight. Then the player with\u003cbr\u003edragons on his side is the victor and scores some victory points (crystals).\u003cbr\u003eA player wins the game instantly if he has all three dragons on his side and then attracts further dragons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fantasy Flight Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19521984961,"sku":"19521984961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Blue_Moon.jpg?v=1578609119","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/blue-moon","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
