About
King of Dragon Pass is a unique game for iPad and iPhone, set in Glorantha (world of the games HeroQuest and RuneQuest). It blends interactive stories and resource management into an epic saga of conflict, magic, and community.
What is King of Dragon Pass?
It's a turn-based strategy game set in the world of Glorantha. (It was also known by the code name, "Opal.") In the industry jargon, "turn-based" means you can stop and think about what you're doing, and "strategy" means you're managing resources.
Its emphasis on stories, characters, and background are unusual for a strategy game.
Is the game the same each time?
No. You'll start with different leaders, and different events will happen (they're drawn from a pool of over 475 different situations). Even when you choose the same response more than once, the outcome may be different (it can depend on the skills of your leaders, your relationships with other clans, and simple chance).
Your answers in the opening questionnaire also affect several factors. And you can choose to play at three levels.
The long and short game have different interactive situations.
Do I need to know about Glorantha to play?
Not at all. The game provides the background you need to know.
You can learn more about this mythical world (and the books and games about it) at the Glorantha web site.
