What is Draconis 8?

With iron, heart, scales, deadly breath weapons, and unmatched intelligence, dragons reign supreme. But when disputes arise between these mighty rulers, they are not settled by armies… but by the Draconis 8.

Each dragon gathers a warband — themselves and seven legendary champions — to battle another dragon’s team. These duels decide the fate of empires, played through a fast-paced, deeply strategic card game.

8-Card Decks

Every duel begins with a lean but powerful force: one mighty Dragon, seven Champions, and a neutral Terrain card that sets the stage.

This compact design means there's no wasted space — every card has weight, and every decision matters. Your Dragon is your ace, boasting multiple abilities and devastating stats, but the Champions you surround it with will determine how battles unfold.

Your deck might pair a fearsome Red Dragon with orc warriors, elven archers, and a sly goblin trickster — each one contributing a unique way to score or disrupt.

Simultaneous Play

Unlike most card games where players alternate turns, some parts of Draconis 8 is played in real-time mind games. Both players draw, then secretly choose a card to play. When revealed, the card with higher initiative earns a point and resolves first.

This keeps the pace brisk and tense: you're always thinking ahead, bluffing, and trying to predict your rival's next move.

Will your opponent commit their Dragon early for raw power, or hold it back for a decisive late strike? Do you counter with a solid Champion… or risk everything on a bold play?

Tactical Positioning

Cards don't just hit the table — where you place them is just as important as what you play. Each card you add connects to the growing battlefield, scoring when adjacent to foes. Initiative determines first placement, but positioning unlocks deep tactical layers: block off scoring lines, rotate enemies, or create chains of allies that amplify one another's abilities.

Your Champion of Fear rotates an enemy Paladin just enough that their strong side no longer scores points — swinging the round in your favor.

Unique Abilities

Every card carries a special ability that warps the rules in your favor or sabotages your foe. Dragons often wield multiple powers, but even humble Champions can deliver game-changing effects. Some bend the battlefield (rotating, swapping, shielding), others manipulate scoring (stealing, multiplying, or redirecting points). Combined, they create endless tactical puzzles — and no two decks play the same.

A stealthy Rogue Champion lets you sneak victory beads from one card to another, while your Dragon unleashes a devastating ability that clears a row of enemies.

Victory in 7 Rounds

The battle is short, sharp, and conclusive: after seven rounds of simultaneous duels, the player with the most victory points claims the match. No endless grind, no drawn-out stalemates — just pure, focused strategy packed into 15–30 minutes.

You're tied in points after round six. In the final round, your Dragon enters the field and tips the balance, claiming the decisive victory. Glory is yours.
