Dragon Crossing is a 2 player pvp, fantasy card game. Each player gets two castles and a team of dragons and has to conquer the land. The game is based on the "rock paper scissor" mechanic and has elements of strategy and chance.

First player to capture both of the opponent's castles, wins. If players run out of dragons in the pack, the player with most captured castles or most dragons on the table wins. If both players have the same number of castles captured and the same number of dragons, they both win
