Dragon Fodder

About the Game

“Roguelite board game with arty medieval swagger.” - Rogueliker

You struck a deal with a dragon: twenty years of protection in exchange for twenty years of dinner service.

Dragon Fodder is a cozy-chaotic tabletop roguelike about dice, dragons, and twenty years of increasingly desperate cooking. Roll for ingredients, stack absurd combos, and hope your next meal isn’t your last. Your island thrives under the dragon’s watchful eye, as long as you keep the meals coming. Keep it fed, keep it friendly… and maybe, just maybe, survive the contract.

Each run is a delicious mix of planning, luck, and mild panic. The dragon’s hunger grows with every passing year, and your dice are all that stand between prosperity and smoke. Build farmsteads, shrines, and harbors across your hex-grid island—each one reshaping how your board behaves through yields, bonuses, and adjacency effects.

Cook up meals by fusing ingredients into recipes that boost Flavor and Essence, multiplying your Fodder score into absurd, screen-shaking numbers. Feed the dragon, survive another year, unlock new tools, and push your luck until the fire inevitably catches up.

• Strategy Meets Chaos – Roll dice to activate tiles, harvest ingredients, and outsmart your own bad luck. Each run balances planning with panic.

• Fodder × Flavour × Essence – Every meal is a math puzzle wrapped in chaos. Stack multipliers, chase absurd combos, and watch your score explode.

• Prosperity & Pressure – The fewer seasons you need, the greater your Prosperity—but each new year turns up the heat with harsher odds, hungrier dragons, and the occasional tantrum that scorches your board.

• 20+ dice types – odd, even, coloured… even dice carved into six sixes. Build your perfect tray and pray the dragon’s merciful.

• 50+ Buildings & 80+ Recipes – From humble farms to flavor-forging shrines, combine and upgrade your board to create unstoppable engines.

• Broken Combos – Bend the rules, break the math, and rebuild your strategy mid-run when everything inevitably catches fire.

• Hand-Drawn Art – Every dragon, building, and meal lovingly illustrated by married duo Jakub & Daniela.

• Dragon Fodder rewards creativity, curiosity, foresight, and the ability to adapt to chaos.

• If you love breaking games like Balatro or Slay the Spire with massive multipliers and overpowered synergies, this one’s for you.

• Cook cleverly, plan poorly, or just roll with it. The dragon doesn’t care how you win, only that you feed it on time.

• And yes, you can pet the dragon. (See you at The Game Awards.)
