Players pick a character and delve into the old fort to avoid the monsters and traps within, find the treasure chamber in the centre, and find their way out alive again carrying as much treasure as possible.

This is a new edition of the original 1985 Alga edition of Drakborgen, using the original rules and artwork. Includes the expansion Drakborgen II as well as completely new playable characters and optional rules variants, dubbed "Drakborgen III". The new content has new art drawn by the original artist, Anders Jeppsson.
