Maximum available
Among the print-and-play community, Dragons of Etchinstone is a cult classic that distills epic, brain-melting strategy into a minimalist experience balanced on a knife’s edge. Chip Theory Games is partnering with designer Joe Klipfel to reimagine Dragons with gorgeous art and next-level production while staying true to the minimalist nature of the game. There are no dice. No chips. No backup plan. Just your brain and your 16 action cards against the adventure ahead!
Dragons of Etchinstone is a solo-only, palm-playable, Mage Knight-inspired pocket adventure from Joe Klipfel, co-designer of Gloomhaven: Buttons and Bugs. You play as an apprentice mage, venturing forth from the Tower to investigate the reappearance of dragons in Vale. The elder mages have issued an edict to cleanse the land of these legendary creatures, but you’ll need to survive the monster-infested regions of Vale first!

Community Rating & Info
Etchinstone, the last great nation under the wide reaches of Valorfall, is under grave threat of a kind no one saw coming. Four ancient dragons have seized control of pivotal strongholds in every direction--North, South, East and West. It's up to you, the strongest of the rare Ether Mages, to make the perilous quest to each of these strongholds, defeat the dragons, and bring peace back to Etchinstone. In Dragons of Etchinstone, you, the brave Ether Mage, must work your way through four Regions and a challenging final encounter against one of the four dragons. You'll use your Action cards to manage dangerous Journeys and formidable Enemies. Defeat them, and your reward is XP, which you can use to upgrade your action cards. Defeat or narrow victories against Journeys results in losing time, which may force you to face the dragon before you feel ready. Defeat or narrow victories against Enemies results in taking damage, which forces you to downgrade your Action cards and weakens your power. —description from the designer
