The king is coming to town and will feast at the inn where the most tempting banquet is offered. Send your followers into the cursed forests to collect the rarest ingredients for your recipes. Mushrooms, wild plants, dragon eggs... nothing is too dangerous for the king! Sharpen your knives and heat your pans!

Taverns & Dragons combines placing dice with walking on the game board, in an adventure game full of heroes and dragons. At the start of each round, players roll their dice. Then each player plays one die, either to move a meeple, gain resources, or cook a recipe. Your followers can also collect ingredients, visit locations to get bonuses, and take part in a risky (but rewarding) dragon hunt. Brave heroes wait in the marketplace, willing to offer their skills in exchange for a few shiny coins...

To win the game, you must have the highest prestige points at the end of the game. These points are earned by cooking recipes, completing missions and hunting dragons.
