PLAYED FOR YOU

Dark Tales

Snow White

Stories in the Land of Dark Tales do not always have a Happy End! With randomly selected Setting Cards A and B you choose the Story. In the Land of the Dark Tales you use 54 cards - playing cards and Setting cards A and B - and 20 Items - Gold Coins, Swords, Armor and Magic Wands. In your turn you draw a card, play - optional - an item and resolve the effects according to the valid card A and then you play a card. You score the icons of the card for victory points, placement location and effects. Items that you receive are laid out. The interactions between cards and items are the key to the game, the effects of the items change with the background stories, the Setting cards. If someone cannot draw a card anymore, play continues until someone is out of cards and thus ends the game. Now you resolve card B and win with most victory points.

With this expansion you transfer the fairy tale story of Snow White into the Land of the Dark Tales. The Snow White card is added to Settings Cards A and B, it determines the use of the special items and their effects. Card B1 of this expansion is used to replace B1 of the core game when playing with the expansion; the remaining cards of the expansion are shuffled with those of the core game, resulting a longer playing time. Otherwise, the rules of the core game apply; Evil Queen and Prince allow you to play an item in “Phase 3 play a card”, even one that you have this moment acquired due to the card just played.

Fantasy adventure – in a sort story and based on a familiar topic. Hopefully you can look forward to future expansion, as the topics and interactions between cards and items are great fun.
