Current Goal

UPDATE April 2011: Race ending on 22 April 2011.
NEW GOAL
after end of race: Return to BERLIN/Germany.

The Dragon Race - Three dragons, seven tasks!

Purple Dragon lost his head, legs and a wing...

Purple Dragon and his two fellow dragon mates Blue Dragon and GoldenDragon have decided to start a race and visit different dragon related locations.

Each one of them has to achieve seven dragon or monster related tasks. They have been released in Japan in April 2007, and the first one achieving seven of the dragon tasks and arriving in London UK Berlin/Germany wins the race!

UPDATE April 2011: I think it's about time to end the race, the dragons are losing too many heads, wings, legs... So the race will end after 4 years on 22 April 2011. If none of the 3 dragons have achieved the seven tasks by then, the winner will be determined with a point system.
