How The Princess & the Dragon changes play
Princess & Dragon
- Setup: shuffle the new tiles in and put the dragon and the fairy beside the board.
- Volcano tile: the dragon moves onto it, and no meeple may be placed this turn.
- Dragon tile: you may place a meeple. Then, clockwise from you, players take turns moving the dragon 1 space up, down, left or right, up to 6 in all. It can't re-enter a tile this turn or enter the fairy's tile; if stuck, it stops. Meeples it meets go home.
- Early dragon tile: if you draw one before any volcano is in play, set it aside and draw again. Shuffle it back in once the first volcano is placed.
- Fairy: on a turn you place no meeple, you may put it on one of your meeples' tiles; the dragon can't enter it. If the meeple goes home, the fairy stays there.
- Fairy points: while the fairy is with your meeple, score 1 point at the start of each of your turns, and 3 when that meeple's feature scores.
- Princess tile: if it extends a city with knights, you may send one knight home, even your own, but then place no meeple this turn.
- Magic portal tile: you may place your meeple on any unoccupied, unfinished feature anywhere.
