About this board game

Dragonsgate College is a strategic board game for 2–4 players, with a play time of 90 minutes, in which rival Student Houses compete for recognition and prestige at a university dedicated to dungeon crawling.

Each turn, players use a unique dice-drafting mechanism to guide the development of their House. Drafted dice enable multiple actions, including recruiting new apprentices and teachers, placing facilities on player boards, and improving the general skill levels of the House.

Raising these skills gives apprentices a greater push toward performing feats of bravery and cunning. Players must decide how to develop their House while finding opportunities to outmaneuver their opponents within the walls of the ancient university.

  • Draft dice to determine and enable your actions.
  • Recruit apprentices and seasoned adventurers as teachers.
  • Construct new student facilities on your player board.
  • Develop your House’s general skill levels.
  • Explore wizardry and subterfuge while competing for prestige.

Dragonsgate College combines student recruitment, facility construction, skill development, and tactical competition in a setting built around the ancient art of dungeon crawling. The choices made each turn shape the progress of your House and its apprentices as you pursue recognition.

Released in 2017, Dragonsgate College challenges players to prove their worth through clever planning and daring development. Rise above rival Houses, make your institution proud, and perhaps earn tenure along the way.
