Fairy Tale

This is a basic drafting game where over the course of the game you draft four sets of five cards. In each hand of five, players simultaneously select, then reveal a card to play until you've played three of the five from the hand. Most of the card effects either look for other cards of specific types to qualify for scoring or they involve flipping or unflipping cards. It's cute, I don't know that it's more compelling than other lightweight drafting games like Tybor der Baumeister for example. It's somewhat odd to get a draft card turn 1 that won't score unless you find card X and card Y, when you won't see the whole deck of cards in a game. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ★ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ★ Multiple plays stay interesting ★ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment
