About the Game

Big Bad Fables is a fairy tale themed deckbuilding game intended for new players to the genre. There are 4 variations of the game, 3 competitive that slowly introduce players to deckbuilding mechanics and 1 cooperative version that can be played solo.

Your goal is to build straw, wood, or brick houses to earn victory points. The game has two currencies; Cheese for persuading fable characters to your side, and Hammers for building houses.

In advanced gameplay, specific card combinations can earn you bonuses called Story Actions. Throw in an occasional explosion of Fairy Godmother magic that turns the mechanics on it's head and Big Bad Fables has something for novice and seasoned players alike.

Game time runs 30 to 60 minutes depending on variation played.
