Manipulate the magic book and collect the most valuable dragons! Even dragons start small. Before they can fly and breathe fire, they must be properly cared for. As an experienced magician, that is exactly your job. To do this, you use the "magic book", which tells you which and how many dragons you can take under your wing. It goes without saying that you have some tricks up your sleeve to manipulate the book to your advantage. Whoever does this best wins this fantastic competition! Do you like short games, value beautiful artwork and don't like waiting for your turn? Then you place this deck of cards on the table. A turn is very simple and you can also do things during other players' turns, so you are constantly involved in the game. Because the cards are distributed differently each game, you can never follow fixed tactics and you have to be flexible. Due to its simplicity, Dragon Shepherds is suitable for families with children, but there is enough challenge to also interest more experienced players. In Dragon Herders you try to score points by placing dragons from your hand. On your turn you first draw 1, 2 or 3 cards from the supply. This offer is continuously supplemented with cards from the magical book. That is important, because after drawing cards, the backs of the 2 cards of the magic book determine how many and which cards you can lay down and what you get for them. It is your turn, before laying down cards you may change the magic book using one of your cards. After laying down and receiving your bonuses, all other players may also lay down cards based on the magic book, but they may not change the magic book. For putting down dragons you can mainly earn amulet parts, golden eggs and shields, which give points in different ways. The game ends when a certain number of amulets have been completed. If you then have the most points, you win and you are the best dragon herder!

Due to the many random factors, the game is different every time. Furthermore, the game contains rules for playing solo.

Each action has its own mechanic and requires players to pay close attention to what the other players are doing. Once the parts of the cathedral have been allocated, the players take possession of their share. The more parts a player builds and completes with their own tower, the more points they receive at the end of the game. Players can send resources to the parts of the cathedral they have claimed.
