Can you match the rainbow-coloured Feathered Serpents and remember where a pair of Flits are hiding? The Discover the Dragons cards feature naturalist illustrations of dragon species from different regions of the world, from the Australian Flamethrower to the Japanese Water Dragon, and the Saharan Strangler to the Western Woodstalker.

The booklet serves as a field guide to the dragon species on the cards. Learn how the vegetarian Bumblelump (Draco tumbulus) uses its powerful front legs to dig its burrow home into hillsides, and how the Lindwyrm (Draco vermis) does not breathe fire, and instead can spit a foul-smelling venom, which causes blistering and blindness.

To play the game, arrange the cards face down on a table, then flip two over – do they show the same dragon species? If they do, you collect the pair. If not, try to remember where the different dragon species are located so you can make a match on your next turn.


The Folklore Field Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are accompanied by breathtaking illustrations, all presented in an engaging narrative form.

Also available from the series: A Natural History of Fairies, A Natural History of Magical Beasts, A Natural History of Mermaids and A Natural History of Magick.
