Description (742 chars)

A picture book game similar to Ace of Aces: Handy Rotary Series. Each player has a book that contains many different 1st person perspective views from the back of a dragon flying high above ground. You and your wingmate must destroy 'threads' as they fall without injuring each other. Best of seven threads makes for a good introductory game. The rules are split into three different sets: Introductory (basic moves and how to score), Role-playing (adds different dragon types and rider statistics), and Campaign (links multiple flights and awards bonus stats to player characters). Book mechanic also featured in: Ace of Aces: Handy Rotary Series Bounty Hunter: Shootout at the Saloon Star Wars: Starfighter Battle Book
