Description

In Fickle, you're on a mission to build the strongest fairy alliance and win the Queen's crown. The game is easy to learn, but don't be fooled - it's full of twists and turns. You'll collect fairy cards from five different families, each with its own unique power to help you gain favor points or sabotage your opponents. The catch is that these fairies are, well, fickle, and they can switch alliances quickly. With three to five players, the game is a fun and social experience that lasts around 12 to 30 minutes. You'll need to manage your hand carefully, making strategic decisions about which fairies to keep and which to discard. The game's inverse scoring curve adds an extra layer of strategy, where having too many fairies from the same family can actually hurt your score. Will you be able to navigate the complex web of fairy alliances and come out on top?
