In Seven Dragons, players start with a secret goal color from the seven colored dragons and a hand of three cards. The Silver Dragon is laid on the table as the starting card; at this stage it is a wild card. The playing cards feature domino-like colored panels in the same manner as Aquarius, an earlier game design from Andy Looney. On a player's turn, he draws one card and plays one from his hand. Cards are laid so as to connect matching colored panels. The deck also includes Action Cards such as Move a Card, Zap a Card, Trade Hands, etc. The used Action Cards form a discard pile, and the top card of this pile dictates the color of the starting Silver Dragon; once the discard pile has started, the Silver Dragon is no longer wild. The first player to create a connected territory of seven panels matching her dragon color wins.

The dreadful Onibi has never been more dangerous… He has set foot in the Circle of Spirits and is ferociously attacking the Sacred Tree, while his flames threaten all living things in the forest. But the Spirits of Nature aren’t fighting alone: Sanki has sent small beings of light, the Kodama, to help them face this growing threat. Play as one of the four Spirits of Nature and make the most of the Kodama’s help to save the Sacred Tree! A NEW ACTION: You can now use the flowers from your Help Line, your Forest and your victory tiles to perform the new action: Call a Kodama. Thanks to this new action you can, each turn, buy one (and only one) Kodama card which is placed on your personal deck, like a Guardian Animal card. These Kodama cards, in addition to providing you with items like Guardian Animals do, provide you with a Kodama symbol. At the start of your Action phase, add the number of Kodama symbols on your Help Line and your Forest: • With 2 visible Kodama symbols, you can take 1 Fragment tile. Put it next to your Forest. • With 3 visible Kodama symbols, you can take 1 Element tile. Put it next to your Forest. • With 4 visible Kodama symbols, you can perform an additional basic Action during this turn. And icing on the cake, you increase the corresponding victory condition from 13 to 15 by emptying a pile of Kodama cards. A good way to slow down your opponents! NEW GUARDIAN ANIMAL Two types of Guardian Animal complete your teams: • 5 new Level 2 Guardian Animal cards allow to perform twice the same basic Action shown on the card, when you normally have to perform two different actions. • 5 new Level 3 Guardian Animal allow you to perform a Bonus Action of the type shown on the card, in addition to your basic Actions. NEW PROTECTIVE TREES RELATED TO KODAMA Six new types of Trees are available, these are the Trees related to Kodama. You can only plant one of each type, so a maximum of 6 different new Trees. ONIBI ENTERS THE CIRCLE OF SPIRITS Each time you buy a Kodama card, Onibi retaliates and moves forward on the Circle of Spirits. For each Spirit he jumps, you must add a Fire tile of value 2 to the center of the Circle of Spirits. And that’s not everything, there is also a Solo mode!

  You are the leader of a prehistoric tribe, deciding which members of your tribe go hunting and what prey they want to catch. To guide you, the Elders have created challenges that you can complete by painting on the wall of your cave. Each round in Prehistories, you and your fellow tribe leaders bid simultaneously (and secretly) to decide who hunts where. The more hunters you have, the bigger the game you can catch, but the slower you are. The fastest player — that is, the one with the smallest sum of hunters — goes first, but they have few hunters with which to hunt. To hunt, you assign your hunters to one or more locations to catch the prey waiting there. Prey is represented by polyomino tiles, and the larger the tile, the higher the sum required. If you have just enough hunters to catch your prey, they might be wounded in the process, which means you'll draw fewer hunter cards at the end of the round to refill your hand. (They distrust your leadership when you get them injured!) In the second phase of a round, you paint your cave with the animal tiles collected during the hunting phase. Your cave is represented by a 7x7 grid that starts with a few tiles already in place. The first tile you place goes in the left-hand column, and all subsequent tiles must touch tiles already placed, with all tiles being oriented so that the animals are viewed with their legs (or fins) down. (Cavemen have simple tastes and want everything to be representational.) When you fulfill the wishes of the Elders by painting your cave in certain ways — such as completing a horizontal line or connecting opposing corners or surrounding a legendary animal on all sides — you place one or more totem tokens on that challenge. Whoever first discards their eight totem tokens wins.
