Draft a fairy-tale hand that pays off across three linked scoring chapters.
A trick-taking game told across three phases like the chapters of a fairy tale. First you draft your hand card by card, then you play tricks where the highest card wins points, and finally you score the special abilities on the cards you kept. Choosing your fairy-tale creatures wisely early pays off in every chapter.
Who it's for
Card and trick-taking fans who want a familiar core with a fresh drafting-and-combo layer on top. Best at four or five.
Not for you if…
You dislike trick-taking or want your plan set from the start. Your drafted hand has to work across three phases, which can feel fiddly to newcomers.
Vibe's take
A trick-taker with an extra layer, since your draft is a bet on all three chapters at once. Combo-spotting and card timing carry the tension.
