Known Games

• Scales-and-squares is a game played in the time of Darkstalker. The game is played on a board with colored tokens consisting of either scales or squares. Scale tokens are green and blue, while the squares are black and white. Scales can hop over squares around a board to capture them. This game was played at a festival by Fathom, Darkstalker, and Whiteout. It is possible only NightWings played it, as Fathom seemed to not know the rules. This is similar to real-life checkers.
• Dragons and Vipers is a game mentioned in Darkness of Dragons. It is known to be played by SandWing dragonets.
• Scroll Tower is a stacking board game mentioned in Darkstalker. The game consists of different levels of stacking difficulty, in which dragons have to stack small, marble, scroll-shaped "bricks" in increasingly difficult ways. Whiteout was said to be amazing at it.
• Hide-and-seek is a RainWing game that young dragonets play. According to Jambu, for the RainWings, hide-and-seek is used to practice their camouflage skills. Although it is a game, hide-and-seek was one of the challenges used for the RainWing royal challenge. According to Kinkajou, RainWing dragonets love to play hide-and-seek and will do so for hours.^{[citation needed]}
• The Darkstalker is a game played by NightWing dragonets around the time of The Dragonet Prophecy. You play by hiding as Darkstalker for a long time, then releasing yourself from the spot you hid and getting the other players. It is similar to hide-and-seek in the real world.
