The Dragon/Tabletop Games/Board Games

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In Chess, the queen is arguably the Dragon of the king, and quite clearly the most powerful piece on the board.
    • Just look at any themed chess set: the Big Bad will be the king, and the Dragon will be the queen.
  • In Betrayal at House on the Hill, there were several Dragons, ranging from a literal example to a slasher killer, a witch, and even man eating plants. One of the players could even be the Dragon to the scenario's Big Bad... or turn out to be Big Bad, and get furnished with a Dragon. The game has "betrayal" in its name for a reason.
  • The Herald from the Cthulhu Mythos board game, Arkham Horror. Giving the Ancient One a Herald greatly increases the difficulty of the game and every expansion adds a new Herald to the pool.
