Wyvern (card game)

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Wyvern is a collectible card game for two players in which dragons and wyverns battle over treasure. It was produced by U.S. Games Systems, which launched the first Premiere Limited card set in January 1995 and ended production with the Kingdom Unlimited edition of 1997, a set of 277 cards. Each player brings two decks: a Dragon Lair pile of dragon and terrain cards, and a Treasure Horde pile of action and treasure cards. Play begins with six face-down dragon and terrain cards on the table and 25 gold pieces. A turn allows limited movement, actions and one battle, and flipping a card face up costs gold. The game ends when one side has no dragon or terrain cards left in play, and the scoring rewards winning with as little gold spent as possible. The game is out of print today.
