Fourth Wing: The Game – Choose Your Dragon*

Fourth Wing: Choose Your Dragon brings Rebecca Yarros's fantasy bestseller to the table: 2 to 4 players face three trials to win a dragon's bond.

What's it about?

A game takes 45 to 60 minutes. The path to becoming a dragon rider starts at Basgiath. Across three consecutive trials, you have to prove your strength, courage, intelligence and balance. Only those who stand out earn a dragon's trust. KOSMOS publishes it as a fan game for readers of the Empyrean books.

How it plays

  1. You go through three trials in a row, each calling for different decisions and a different style of play.
  2. After the trials, impression tokens are handed out.
  3. Every dragon responds to different attributes, and your tokens decide which bond you form.

What sets it apart

  • Special dragon dice that add tension and unexpected twists
  • Three distinct trials rather than one repeated mechanism
  • Plenty of atmosphere drawn from the novels

Conclusion

Choose Your Dragon is first and foremost for fans of the books who want to step into Basgiath themselves. The dice bring a fair amount of luck, which suits its light, thematic aims. If you don't know the series, or you expect a deep tactical fantasy game, other titles will serve you better.
