Three Dragon Ante (Dungeon & Dragons)
Three-Dragon Ante is a fast-paced noncollectable card game based on the tavern games played by characters within the D&D game world. Three-Dragon Ante can be played as a standalone card game when there isnt enough time for a full-fledged D&D adventure, or it can be played as part of a roleplaying campaignwhere a characters abilities can give him or her a unique winning edge.
For 2-6 players. Great for dedicated D&D gamers or anyone interested in a cool, fast, fantasy-based game of chance.

5 Stars Upping the Ante for Card Games
This game is really great. I call it medieval texas hold ‘em. However, this game actually has greater strategic range than any form of poker where the only way to win is by winning the pot or stakes. I have introduced it to several non D&D players and they have all loved it. We now play this game regularly. The game does require betting with coins. We use gold coins that we purchased cheaply at a party store. These work great, but you could also play for quarters and buy into each game for only $12.50 in quarters. There is a slight learning curve if you are not familiar with D&D but two or three rounds of play will get you through that no problem. Highly recommended. Fun and inexpensive.
5 Stars Three Dragon Ante, Quite Impressive!
I bought Three Dragon Ante for the Castle Ravenloft Adventure, but I found it is an amazing stand-alone game. My friends and I played for hours last night after a D&D game! Well worth the buy!
It may seem a bit confusing when you first look at the instruction booklet, but I found it quite simple to pick up. Within one game my friends and I all knew how the rules worked and were trying to steal each other’s gold.
Extremely entertaining!
5 Stars I truly appreciate prompt recipt of things I order.
Half the pleasuse in ordering on line is being able to count on a prompt delivery date. I recieved Three Dragon Ante in time to present as a gift at a party. Thank you.
5 Stars Bloody Good Fun
Weather you play Dungeons and Dragons or not this is a fun and original game. It’s easy to learn. I get my family and friends to play when they come to visit; every one loves it. Instead of chips I like to play with Mardi-gras doubloons and beads. It’s too bad they don’t have this in Vegas. It’s more fun that poker. The art is great too.
4 Stars Excellent idea- so so execution
Three Dragon Ante was an excellent idea and creates not only memorable encounters and situations for a party of heroes, but it also allows the game to take on a whole new light as the party fights for their survival by playing a card game. It can be dropped into any campaign at any time. It can be used for huge situations in which characters lives hang in the balance of how the cards fall or how they play or it can be used for your standard bar gambling game. So the idea was excellent and the game is actually fun to play. The only problem lies within how characters can influence the game with certain skills that their characters possess. This could have been developed more and could have turned the game into more of an rpg strategy asset. Overall this part of the design is very poor and is really the only thing lacking in this otherwise excellent game. However, if you are looking to play the game outside of a dnd campaign setting the game would not be anywhere near as fun and should drop a star or 2. Three dragon ante could have been better but it’s still one of the only good things wizards have released lately. Great artwork and card design as well.
