Among the print-and-play community, Dragons of Etchinstone is a cult classic that distills epic, brain-melting strategy into a minimalist experience balanced on a knife's edge. Chip Theory Games is partnering with designer Joe Klipfel to reimagine Dragons with gorgeous art and next-level production while staying true to the minimalist nature of the game. There are no dice. No chips. No backup plan. Just your brain and your 16 action cards against the adventure ahead!

Gameplay Overview
Dragons of Etchinstone is a solo-only pocket adventure that proves you don't need dice, tokens, or a big box to get deep strategic gameplay. The entire game fits in your hand — 16 Mage Cards, 2 Region Cards, 2 Dragon Cards, and a rulebook — yet somehow delivers a brain-burning challenge inspired by the strategic depth of Mage Knight. As an apprentice mage exploring monster-infested regions of Vale, you'll navigate two dangerous areas before confronting the dragons at the heart of the edict. Every decision matters because there's no randomness to bail you out — just pure card management, sequencing, and planning. Originally a beloved print-and-play cult classic from Gloomhaven: Buttons and Bugs co-designer Joe Klipfel, this Chip Theory Games edition brings it to gorgeous, premium physical production for the first time. A must for solo gamers who love a tight, punishing puzzle.
