Embark on a journey into the heart of a Western fantasy universe with Dragons Down, a captivating board game that draws its inspiration from the timeless classic, Magic Realm. In this immersive game, you don the mantle of intrepid adventurers, driven by the insatiable thirst for fame and gold, all in the quest to etch your name into the annals of legend.

Your odyssey unfolds within a world ravaged by dragons who left nothing but devastated lands in their wake, beckoning you to explore its enigmatic wilds. Treasure hunters at heart, you'll scour hidden troves for legendary artifacts, embark on epic missions, weave arcane spells, and infuse magic into the very land itself —all while contending with the presence of savage beasts, vicious monsters and, perhaps, rival adventurers seeking the same glory.

Consider Dragons Down as your colossal sandbox of possibilities. Set your own goals or dive headfirst into one of the game's pre-structured scenarios. But tread with caution, for you are entering a realm teeming with peril and promise, where unimaginable wealth and renown await the daring, yet where a single misstep could spell your ultimate doom.

Welcome, brave souls, to the enchanting world of Dragons Down, where destiny beckons, danger lurks, and legends are born.

• Two sets of metal coin upgrades for the gold tokens in the game.
• Six Dual Layer Hero Boards for keeping your cards and cubes in order.

Here is the link to the most current working copy of the rulebook. This is not a final rulebook, it needs additional editing, graphics, and rule examples. 

We have a working build on TableTop Simulator of the first scenario for you to try before you buy.  The graphics on TTS are not the final graphics for the game. The build only includes the material needed for the first scenario, not for the full game. Here is a steam link for the TTS Workshop module. 

Join us on our Discord server for Dragons Down! We will be hosting events throughout the campaign. There will be live play-throughs, and Question and Answer sessions.  Here is the link for the Discord server.

Shipping Estimates for the core game are expected to start at $25-30 for USA and will be collected at a later date via PledgeManager. Shipping for the expansion is expected to be an additional $5-7, and each additional add on Item will see shipping increase $2-5 depending on the item. Example: Core Game + Expansion pledge to the USA might look like $25 + $5 or $30.

In addition to the U.S., we also ship parcels "friendly" from warehouses in the UK, Canada and China. We estimate overseas costs might start at $35-45 + VAT/taxes where applicable. Rest of the World rates are expected to start at $49-59 and will depend on volume. This allows us to minimize customs paperwork in those regions/nations. However, we reserve the right to ship parcels from the USA or China if quantities ordered outside the USA are not large enough to facilitate pallet shipments. We will let you know via an update if we ship from the USA and offer invoices to help with customs if need be.

***Due to new import tax laws in areas like the UK and the EU, VAT (Value Added Tax) and/or other regional taxes associated with a backer's country will be added to each pledge in the pledge manager. Based on your location, VAT could be between 15-20%.

Countries/Regions Excluded:  We are not able to ship to Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, South America, Mexico, Reunion, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Egypt, or the Middle East due to high postage prices, and a poor track record of lost parcels. If you live in one of these areas, we recommend using a USA address and having the game forwarded to you via a relative/friend or a postage-forwarding company. We work with different fulfillment centers all over the world to ensure better and more affordable delivery each campaign but none will guarantee delivery to these countries.

Would you like to carry Dragons Down in your store? Contact us at mrbgames.cs(at symbol)gmail.com. We offer keystone pricing, competitive shipping rates, and the ability to order other Mr. B titles and Mr. B studio's titles. The core game may enter distribution six to twelve months after Kickstarter delivery, but the expansion and add-ons will be exclusive to this Kickstarter. Once you back your store will have early access to all pledge levels.

No project could be possible without a team of folks to help us. Dragons Down is no exception.
