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.

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!
