Strategy

I purchased this game a long time ago, but I never could find a strategy that could get me anywhere close to winning. Can anyone shed any light?!

Just farm little dragonfly's, then get (after 4 dragonfly's) 6 gryphonettes. after you have enough for hobb's, take 5 days at grimm's, selling your 6 gryphonettes for 6 more dragonfly's. after you SAVE all those eggs, go to hobb's. after selling all your pets from grimm's, buy blue dragonfly's. farm eggs for 10 days with (5) blue dragonfly's, mix all the eggs. after you get all the eggs, talk to the alchemist. mix your blue and green eggs of dragonflies first, creating tons of green dragon eggs. hatch ALL of those eggs, then use the dragons as a quick-fix. use the eggs, to make more DRAGONS. after you have 10 green dragons (its a reasonable number to take care of) just keep hatching the eggs till you make more dragons. sell those extra ones for TONS of money. repeat till u can get rosewood, AND purple dragons, =) this should get you through the game quite easily.

For more hints, tips and strategies go to Casual Game Guides ... You can find the link by doing a Google search ... Would give it to you but not allowed to post URL's on the forum ... Hope that helps ...

I have won the game on insane (60 days) with 6 days left so it can be done.

My strategy is really easy and totally simple. When you first start the game you are given a green dragonfly. Click on the wooden stick next to the old man and click on the barrel behind him. With the coins you have by a goose and then use the rest of your money to buy food. You can ignore giving the beggar coins until you have some to spare. Complete your first day in the hatchery. Hatch all of the goose eggs you have and all but 2 of the dragonfly eggs. Sell the two eggs so that you have enough gold to buy food. (also you can click on the barrel and hopefully find food or coins. Also there will occasionally be coins next to the pet seller.) Only ever sell the dragonfly eggs. When you have 40 coins to spare purchase a gryphonette and proceed to hatch all of those eggs as well until you have 10. The goose eggs will yield more gold but you want as many geese as possible because they also randomly lay golden goose eggs. Keep hatching the goose eggs until you have 10 of them. Whenever a goose lays a golden goose egg hatch it. When you have a golden goose click the chat button of the women in the back and give her a goose. She will cook and eat the goose but it's a sacrifice you'll have to make. In return she will give you a key to the second town. Once there you will find 200 coins in an urn. You can return these to the man in the middle speaking with the woman and the woman will sell you the 2nd hatchery for 980 gold as opposed to 1400 should you choose to keep the gold for yourself. Continue playing the 1st hatchery and hatching all the golden goose eggs until you have enough gold to buy the second hatchery. Don't actually play the second hatchery unless you have purchased a rascal and a blue dragonfly. The last few times you play the first hatchery keep all of you green dragonfly eggs. These can be combined with the blue dragonfly eggs in the pet lab to create a green dragon. This strategy can be used over and over again in the 2nd hatchery and the 3rd hatchery. (I usually don't bother going to the last hatchery.

Note:
To purchase rosewood manor have 30,000 gold and speak with the old woman. She will give you the key.

If you combine red dragonfly eggs from rosewood manor with gryphon eggs you will create a ruby gryphon. If you give one of these to the man speaking with the woman he will give you the key to the 3rd town.
