You control a dragon whose goal is to build the largest treasure hoard. You can play alone or alongside or against up to three other dragons.
Fly between settlements and other targets to burn crops and buildings, collect and return gold, and capture princesses for ransom. Your choices affect how kingdoms develop: leaving them intact can bring greater rewards later, but also stronger threats.
Earn gold to improve your dragon’s abilities, including speed, fire breath, carrying capacity, and armor. Treasure Collect, Princess Rush, survival-style HOARD, and cooperative play offer different match goals, with maps and competitive scoring adding variety.
Players who enjoy HOARD often praise its quick, easy-to-grasp matches and the way dragon upgrades and kingdom choices add strategy to the straightforward treasure hunt. Several like it for short solo or multiplayer sessions, while some reviews say its appeal wears thin or mention technical and multiplayer-access problems.
