The four different dragons
that the players can slay
are placed in the middle of

a number of hidden ones in
the chest, and visible ones
on the ground.

5. Battle meter
Beneath each dragon, its
life is displayed as a number
in a silver emblem along
with a life meter.
As players attack the
dragon, the battle sign (two
crossed swords) is shifted
towards the emblem,
decreasing the green life
meter as well as the number
left in the silver emblem.
This is also where the battle
participation will be
demonstrated as shown in
upcoming slides.

damage
At this stage, 3 players have
attacked the fourth dragon
and it is now Player 4's
turn.
The participants in the
battle against the dragon
are shown below the life-
meter. The life of the
dragon has been decreased
as well as the battle sign has
approached the life
emblem. Since the life of
the dragon has decreased
by more than half, the
dragon is weak and
therefore the life is red.

dragon
