Dragon Quest Solitaire Card Game

‘Dragon Quest’ Solitaire Card Game You are a peasant shepherd attempting to rescue the King’s daughter by vanquishing the Dragon guarding her. King has sent many of his knights inside but they have all been defeated. Their weapons, armour and supplies litter the caverns. He will not send anymore of his knights inside. You have endeavored to rescue her yourself. You have nothing but a stick and no armour to begin with. Your starting FS is 1-15, 15 being easiest game difficulty and 1 being most difficult. Gather armour and weapons and health elixirs to gain additional FS. Also gain FS by defeating monsters. Hopefully you will have enough FS and luck to defeat the Dragon when you find him.
