Dragonriders of Pern is a 1984 picture book game published by Nova.

Gameplay

[edit]

Dragonriders of Pern is a picture-book game with a similar design to Ace of Aces, in this case involving 115 numbered full-page illustrations portraying wingmates trying to burn Thread as in the Dragonriders of Pern novels.[1]

Reception

[edit]

Lester W. Smith reviewed Dragonriders of Pern in The Space Gamer No. 75.[1] Smith commented that "I found Dragonriders of Pern to be my second-favorite set in the picture-book series, just behind the Handy Rotary planes, and recommend it to anyone, diehard McCaffrey fan or not. At [the price] it may not be a bargain, but it is a good value for the money."[1]
