Seven Dragons from Looney Labs by Tim Kidwell
"Seven Dragons is the newest game from Looney Labs. It features all-new illustrations by renowned fantasy artist Larry Elmore on 72 cards. With Seven Dragons, Looney Labs uses the basic rules from Aquarius and matches them to the sort of creatures who are used to duking it out with each other, using trickery, stealth and the occasional brutal fiery fusillade to the face. In it, players attempt to create a chain of seven dragons of the same color: black, red, blue, gold, or green. The rainbow dragon card is a wild card and can be used to represent any color.There are two major differences from Aquarius. The first is the silver dragon. This card is used to begin the game (rather than randomly drawing the first card from the draw deck) and is "colorless" - meaning you can place any color of dragon next to it. The second difference comes with the action cards. Each action card has a dragon color associated with it. When an action is played, not only does the action listed on the card happen, but the color of the silver dragon changes to the color of the last action played.
These small changes really make Seven Dragons into a completely different game. Larry Elmore's art is astounding - as always. "
