Designed for 2-5 players aged 12+, it offers a 75-minute immersive experience of ancient Chinese rulership with straightforward rules and deep strategic layers. This edition celebrates a decade of acclaim with added content and Ravensburger’s hallmark quality, perfect for professionals seeking a cerebral yet social gaming challenge. ## Description In in the year of the Dragon, players take on the role of Chinese rulers around the year 1000. The game plays out in twelve rounds, with each round representing one month in a year that seems to go from bad To worse. Disease, drought, and attacks from the Mongols are just a few of the challenges ahead you may face as a ruler. Make sure you have enough money to offer a tribute to the Emperor. The game play is easier than it may appear. Every player has a set of "person" Cards. Each round, you choose one action (Most of which call on your workers' Abilities) to help you prepare for the months ahead. Then you play one person card, recruiting that person and placing them into one of your palaces. Each person brings different skills and abilities to help you ride out the year. For example, farmers harvest rice to survive a month of drought and tax collectors raise money. At the end of each round, that month's event is triggered, which may cost you some of your workers, some money, or you will have to relinquish points. Careful planning is the key to survival in "in the year of the Dragon", but survival alone may not win the game. Added bonus features that come with this 10th anniversary edition are "the great wall of China" And "the super events" Expansions that are included with this edition.

This game has a very similar feel to the original Alea copy of CoB, with the very thin cardboard pieces and let's admit it, not a very pretty game. I guess that's why one reviewer thought it was a counterfeit game, but no, that's just how you are able to get a pretty darn good board game for only $20! There's a lot of gameplay packed into that box including a couple of expansions. This one isn't quite as good as CoB, but is similar in having a fairly simple ruleset, but much more complex gameplay when it comes to doing well in the game. While I like Castles best at 2p, this one is better at the higher player counts in terms of the game play although it does extend the time to complete the game. You have to think several turns ahead here, and there's the constant push-pull of whether to get more powerful people or stay ahead in the turn order. For me the value here for the price easily rates it 5 stars, but I am an experienced board games that likes highly strategic games, this is not a game for beginner or casual board gamers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best $20 I ever spent on a game *by on Reviewed in the United States February 9, 2018* Best $20 I ever spent on a game. Feels a little like Puerto Rico but half the rules. It can also be a little lacking with two players in the sense that two aggressive players could use a single block to potentially cost one the game and you just have to suffer the remaining turns. It can also be a little repetitive; 12 months = 12 turns of the same types of choices but for the simplicity it also offers some depth and allows players to pick it up quickly. Set up can be a bit of a pain. That's my criticism. Its surprisingly a great game thats theme matches the design. Make the most with what youve got. Good resource management a little bit of engine building and several potential strategies without being point salad. This one fills a nice spot in my collection its fun and intriguing to see what gold you can find as you strategize and draft your way through its river of pain. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good game, but prepared to feel bad for last place... *by on Reviewed in the United States May 7, 2018* I personally enjoy this game, it's not a mind blowing experience, but it is a good game. The real quick rundown of In The Year of the Dragon is this...you must manage twelve months of damage control for your people. Plagues, celebrations, wars, et cetera are going to happen. Someone is going to be the most prepared, someone is going to be keeping their head above water, and someone will be sitting at the table with the walls falling down around them.The key to the game is being the most prepared as often as possible as everyone at the table gets beat over the head with the same alternating balance of disaster and calmness over twelve rounds. Those making good decisions and having good foresight will have a great time, and those who cannot....are probably going to have a miserable time. Someone is definitely going to lose this game, and In The Year of the Dragon is DEFINITELY going to kick them while they are down. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ravensburger in The Year of The Dragon: 10th Anniversary Edition Strategy Board Game - Ravensburger Carpe Diem Strategy Board Game for Age 10 & Up - 2019 Kennerspiel Des Jahres Nominee --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43639470-in-the-year-of-the-dragon-10th-anniversary-edition-strategy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/43639470-in-the-year-of-the-dragon-10th-anniversary-edition-strategy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
