Welcome! How to Date a Dragon is a casual card collecting dating-sim game where the player has to appeal to four different dragons on an island getaway. Our lovely dateable dragons are named Scarlet, Cora, Tilly and Eleanor. In order to appeal to these dashing dragons, you as the player must change your boring appearance with collectable cards to match your dates aesthetic. To change your aesthetic, you have to interact in fun and strategic card collecting game play! 

Also while collecting, your arch nemesis Chad is stealing cards so you can’t match your dates preferences. After changing your appearance to match your date's aesthetic, you will then go on a super romantic date where you will get to know each other through date events. Through card selection you will also receive item cards that can be played during Date Events. So have a watchful eye on items your date might like as well. Can you get past the talking stage and have every dragon on the island fall for you?

Do you think you have what it takes to unlock the secret ending?  Make sure to have two perfect runs back to back without stopping. You will need to have all four Dragons fall in love with you twice!

Quick fun game, I like it a lot! Would love to be able to go on more dates in the future :]

it has the black screen of death on 11 in the web app

The same thing happens when playing the game in browser, see the screenshot

For some reason this game almost always crashes before the date begins.
