Overview
In Water Dragons, players are racing to get their dragon to its nest first. Each water dragon is made of a head, body and tail, which have to move in order (the tail cannot overtake the body, for example). On your turn, you roll the die and can reroll up to two more times. Then you take the card of the corresponding color to move part of your dragon towards its nest. Sharks shake the dragons, making them pull their tails and heads into the middle, which can be either helpful or detrimental, depending on where the pieces are.

Thoughts
This is such a cute kids racing game that doesn’t feel like 100% luck and has no “mean” aspects! The dragon pieces are irresistible and the components are sturdy. Players have to manage how far ahead they let their head get compared to their tail and body. Being able to reroll a couple of times to choose your card brings in a bit of probability/risk management.
While it is actually my son’s game, I recently taught my almost 4 year old and she really enjoyed it (even if she needed help with strategy). I'm hoping it gets rotated into her games more often now!
