About the game

What you do in a play session

The fairies are hosting their annual fair, and you've been chosen as the mastermind! In Fairy Fair, a solo roll-and-write game, your challenge is to plan the most magical fair possible. Roll dice to build stalls and attractions on a grid representing the fairgrounds. The twist? You can reroll the dice as much as you want... until doubles appear, then your turn ends without building anything. When the time track runs out, it's time to guide visitors along the best path, stopping at attractions for games, food, and rides. Only visited attractions score points, so plan carefully! Will the fairies hire you again next year?
