A Park of Dragons

Enter DragonVale.

It's a digital game for touch screens and smart phones where the player builds a park with various kinds of dragons.  In my opinion, it's pretty awesome.  Although, I did stop playing it for about a year because my iPad experienced some technical difficulties and I didn't get back into DragonVale for a long time even after the iPad was fixed.

It all starts with a floating island in the middle of the sky.  On it, a bunch of rocks and trees that need to be cleared along with one portal.  Through this portal comes tiny wizards that walk through your park, earning the player money.  The more wizards in one's park, the better one is doing.  Of course, one isn't going to get far without dragons.  The most basic dragons (the starter ones) are the plant dragon, the fire dragon, and the earth dragon.

To move further along in the game, one must breed dragons, collect coins, and grow treats.  My favorite and least favorite part is breeding dragons, hoping to end up with a rare kind.  I love seeing the cool egg designs and new dragons created, however, it can be immensely frustrating.  Getting rare dragons is, well, a rare event.  There is no guarantee one will get the dragon one wants, no matter how many times one breeds the same pair of dragons.

Above is one of the floating islands of my DragonVale park, just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Sorry about the poor resolution; you might want to click on the picture to enlarge it.
