Fast Forward: Fatal

another Fable Game

The 4^th game in the Fast Forward series, based on the Fable concept. Games using this concept feature pre-sorted stacks of cards, which are used according to the individual game and introduce all cards and rules in several games, played one after the other. You can interrupt play, continue at any time or begin again with another group of players. In Fast Forward Games, you do not read any rules at all, but begin to play from the first card on.

Fatal / Fortune is game about points, featuring the topic of Slot Machines; will there be a new high score on the cards? You not only need high numbers, however, but also the right bonus points.

You put the pre-sorted, unshuffled stack of number cards, number cards with additional text and rule cards on the table and do what the first card tells you; still simple - select a starting player who turns the card over and reads out the first rule - still not very exciting - all draw a number card in turn until, well, until the next rule card turns up with new rules for drawing cards, end of round and how to win the round.

Now you can continue to play another round and learn new rules and stop to continue at any time later or sort the deck for a new start. If you continue to play, at some point cards with special rules appear that are played immediately and are valid till the next special rule appears, and so on and so on until the final card tells you to shuffle the discard pile and you know all the rules.

Another nice implementation of the concept in this 4^th game of the series, the topic and the gameplay go well together; an ideal game for immediate access without reading rules!
