About this board game

The Red Dragon Inn 4 is a fantasy adventure game for 2–4 players that takes about 60 minutes to play. Released in 2013, it brings the familiar drinking, gambling, and roughhousing of the Red Dragon Inn aboard the sailing vessel Crimson Drake.

You and your companions have returned from a successful dungeon raid with treasure in hand. Now the celebration takes place in Captain Whitehawk’s cabin, where the last character who remains conscious and still holds onto their Gold Coins wins.

This installment introduces four seafaring adventurers. Captain Whitehawk is the experienced master of the ship, First Mate Remy is an honor-bound elf and swashbuckler, Bryn the Boatswain is a formidable shipwright who enjoys sparring, and Tara the Navigator uses her gift of second sight to help guide the Crimson Drake.

  • Sea Event Deck: A new deck adds random encounters to the party.
  • Progress Counters: At the end of each turn, a player removes a counter from the deck.
  • Unexpected challenges: When the final counter is removed, the top card is revealed and its Event takes place.

The Sea Event Deck adds another layer of pressure to the usual dangers. Players must protect themselves from opponents and the Drink Deck while also preparing for events that may interrupt the festivities.

Some encounters can even encourage players to work together for a bonus. With its mix of character abilities, risky revelry, and changing sea conditions, The Red Dragon Inn 4 offers a fresh way to experience the series’ rowdy adventure.
