Fast Forward: Festung

rules, but no rulebook!

Fast Forward is a series of games, in which the new Fable concept is implemented:  Games based on and using the Fable 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 to play at any time or begin a new game, with the same players or with another group of players.

In Fast Forward Games, you do not read any rules at all; you take the stack - ready for use, and not to be shuffled at the start - and begin play with the first card of the stack.

Fast Forward: Festung is a game of conquest featuring 90 cards; you want to be first to conquer the breath-taking fortress on the horizon and to own the fortress at the end of the game; you must take risks to succeed. The basic rule, stated on the backside of Card #1, is: In your turn, you draw the top card from the draw pile and take it up in hand. When a card tells you to place it on the table immediately, you have another turn. Some cards tell you to reveal them instantly and read them; such cards introduce new rules to the game, e.g. that you can now either draw a card as usual or can try to use cards from your hand to conquer the fortress. Other cards determine the end of the game; if it is triggered, you win, if you own the fortress. When the draw pile is empty, you shuffle cards that were set aside for a new draw pile. If you want to play again, you simply sort the cards from 1 to 90 and play again.

Unusual, interesting and takes a bit of getting used to - a very new sensation for game play!
