Land on a gem (or on the same space as an opponent carrying a gem) and you get to place that gem on your head for transport out of the cave. You are allowed to move in any direction around the cave, but cannot change directions in one move. In order to do so, you must first collect a red and a blue gem to be granted passage to the eggs.Ī custom six-sided die is included, and you simply move the distance rolled. Each player is tasked with being the first to obtain the dragon’s golden eggs. Fortunately for us, some fresh batteries was all it needed to bring the dragon back to life and chasing off the adventurers that were stealing his gems and eggs!ĭragon Strike is one of those games that isn’t very complicated to learn or teach, but still is a ton of fun for both parents and kids. After confirming the battery compartment was clean, I decided to take a chance at Dragon Strike by Milton Bradley. Other times it is a mystery why they don’t work, and I am no electronics engineer.īut for this week’s Thrift Treasure, I couldn’t pass on the theme. Sometimes the batteries have corroded, making the contacts unusable. Adding electronics to the mix just adds another thing that can go wrong and usually we are unable to test them in the store before purchase. When we find a battery-operated game at thrift stores, we typically take a pass on them.
