In this video I'm playing through the new Chip Theory Games edition of the amazing solo in-hand card game 'Dragons of Etchinstone' by Joe Klipfel. This video should give you a good idea how the game is played and if it is for you.
Description on BoardGameGeek:
"In Dragons of Etchinstone, you, the brave Ether Mage, must work your way through four Regions and a challenging final encounter against one of the four dragons. You'll use your Action cards to manage dangerous Journeys and formidable Enemies. Defeat them, and your reward is XP, which you can use to upgrade your action cards. Defeat or narrow victories against Journeys results in losing time, which may force you to face the dragon before you feel ready. Defeat or narrow victories against Enemies results in taking damage, which forces you to downgrade your Action cards and weakens your power."
