Dragon's Breath

Players help a family of young dragons collect gemstones that fall from a melting column of ice. Each round a ring of ice is removed to release stones, players select a color tile, and then take any gems of that color that fall out. The game combines prediction and luck as players try to match their chosen color to the stones that drop. Play continues until the ice column is fully melted; the player with the most collected gems of their colors wins.

This is a quick playing children's game where you make a stack of rings, then fill the stack with gems. In turn order each player drafts a gem token which essentially makes a prediction about which gems you think will fall from the tower when the starting player lifts the topmost ring directly up. Once each player drafts a predictive token, the starting player lifts the ring, and then there's a chance some of the gems tumble out into gutters. Any gems not in gutters that matched your prediction are collected and placed into your hidden score stash. This game is fantastic for 5 year olds. It lets them make some simple choices, it hides scores so they don't feel demoralized if one player takes the lead, the components are fantastic, the game plays quickly, the setup and teardown is clean, and contained all within the box. I couldn't be happier.
