Don't be fooled. All treasure belongs to the dragon. He's just letting you borrow it until he wants it back. ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐Ÿ‰

In Please Donโ€™t Burn My Village, bribe timing is key. Too early or too late, and your loot loses value to him.

Hereโ€™s John Haskell demoing it at Total Con 40 in Marlborough, MA.

Itโ€™s always great to see this classic hitting the table and players teaming up to keep the fire under control!

Have you played Hotshots before??

The team at @wtfnr, a network run by veterans and service members, recently played Castle Panic, and they had a blast! ๐ŸŽฒ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Host Michael called it โ€œunanimously one of our favorites of the last yearโ€ and even gave it the FTX seal of approval (a brand-new honor inspired by how much they enjoyed it!).
