The Dragon Expansion is by far the most frustrating and game-hijacking expansion in this whole game. Not only does it bog down turns by going through a potentially rather long dragon token draw step before every character's turn, not only do these tokens never go away if you avoid them, not only will dragons randomly "strike" and ruin your game at regular intervals. Oh no, that's far from the end of your worries.
Some of these cards will borderline end a run where it begins.

Me and my friends got a green (grilipus) dragon card on a critical square, called the Mist Dragon. This dragon has a craft of 7, and instead of rolling to defeat it as normal, you instead roll two dice - the Mist Dragon automatically gets the highest as its result, and the character who encounters it gets the lowest. You cannot roll-off. This means you have to either have more craft than it, which is a tall order, or one of precious few cards which let you either get around this, or reroll results.

With cards like that which borderline brick an entire area of the board, this DLC simply punishes you for trying to play the game, and I do not recommend it whatsoever. If you have it as part of the legendary edition or something, do not activate it. It ruins the game.
