About the Game

Welcome to a land of fantasy and mystery, where the fables of old have fought for the prestigious honor of being remembered in the storybooks. Narrator, you have been chosen to determine the fate of your characters - Do you have the skill to guide their plots to be remembered forever?

Storybook Battles is a tactical card game for 2 or 4 players that puts you in command of characters from your favorite stories! Tactically play, maneuver, hide, and reveal cards to capture your opponent’s characters as you create your very own adventure. Be the first player to capture enough plot points and the writers will remember your story forever - you win!

Players are free to play with whatever set of characters they want; they don't have to be from the same book - "Peter Pan Vs. The Queen of Hearts?", no problem! By combining books, you also unlock Expert and Team modes of play. Expert mode includes deck-customization for a serious best of three match. Team mode is a 2 Vs. 2 match for four players to enjoy working cooperatively for a shared victory!

There's so much to explore - which book will you open today!?
