Black Dragon’s Guild

About this board game

Black Dragon’s Guild is a competitive adventure game for 2–4 players, played in about 45 minutes, in which aspiring guild masters compete to lead the Guild after four seasons of questing.

For almost a century, the feared Black Dragon has guided the Guild by managing its most important resource: Power. Now, the legendary leader is ready to step aside. Each player must prove they deserve to become the Guild’s successor, whatever methods or ideals they choose to follow.

Begin by carefully selecting comrades to form a group of adventurers. Consider each character’s lineage, role, and abilities as you assemble a party suited to your ambitions. Then visit the city’s places to receive benefits and pursue the most profitable missions available.

• Form an adventuring group by choosing comrades based on lineage, role, and abilities.
• Visit city places to gain benefits.
• Claim and complete missions with your party.
• Choose whether to follow a good or evil alignment.
• Increase your Reputation over four seasons of questing.

Complete missions to increase your Reputation, while deciding whether your path is defined by fear and control, or by nobility and charity. In Black Dragon’s Guild, being good or evil is less important than believing in the alignment you choose.

When the fourth season ends, the player with the highest Reputation earns the title of New Guild Master. Build your group, pursue your chosen path, and compete for the Guild’s fame, prestige, and future.
