Fame & Fable (Deluxe Edition)

Product detailed description

Fame and Fable is a fantasy-themed competitive board game for ONE to FOUR players. Use your actions to buy ally and item cards from the market and play these to defeat monsters, complete contracts or disrupt other players. Gain fame through your exploits to move your player token around the game track, picking up bonus tokens as you travel. The player with the highest fame at the end of the game wins.

How to Play (abbreviated version):

In Fame and Fable, you will be competing to get the most victory points, known as fame - the player with the most fame at the end of the game wins.

Your Turn

On your turn, you have THREE actions, plus one bonus action for every empty moon space between you and the lead player (a catch-up mechanic). Use your actions to:

• Recruit allies or items from the market (1–3 actions).
• Use traits on deployed allies (0–3 actions).
• Combat a monster (1 action to draw a monster or legend).

What you do on your turn will grant you fame, which moves your piece along the fame tracker.

Allies & Items

Allies (your most important cards) require actions to recruit but are deployed for free. Deployed allies can:

• Use their basic attack (top left number and symbol) for a free action to attack a monster in combat
• Use their trait (written at the bottom of the card). This can be a free action OR cost actions equal to the number of pips above the trait text.

Allies are exhausted after use. They must be readied again to use. Ready allies by:

• Using specific cards.
• Waiting for another player to pass and collect a moon token.
• Spending 1 action + 1 moon token.

Items are single-use.

Combat & Fame

• Monsters (cost 1 action to engage) have difficulty 1-10 and special traits.
• Legendary monsters (cost 1 action to engage or can be triggered by landing on legend spaces on the fame track). They have difficulty 11-20 but are tough to defeat.
• Contracts in the market offer bonus fame. They have certain conditions you must meet during your turn.

Game End & Winning

The game ends when a player passes the champion token—each other player gets one more turn. Whoever is farthest on the fame track wins!
