About the game

What is Emerald?

From the box: "Brand new baby dragon! The news spreads like wildfire! And everyone knows what this means: the mother dragon must have acquired a large hoard of gold and gems for the nest of her brood. All knights in the area want a chance at the treasure and race to her mountain. To protect her young, the mother dragon is looking for those who would attack her baby and her new hoard. If she catches a knight, he will spend the rest of his life polishing gold and then finish by feeding the baby dragon. Those knights that can avoid the mother dragon will carry off their share of gold and gems!" Online Play BrettspielWelt (real-time)
