About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever wondered what happens when Snow White ditches the kingdom, hits the bright lights of Las Vegas, and turns into a full-blown villain? Fairy Tale Assassin League: Snow White? Not Anymore brings a gritty, hilarious twist to classic folklore. Forget the 'happily ever after'—this is about revenge, drama, and-of-course-chaos.

In this game, players step into the shoes of fairy tale icons in a high-stakes-storytelling experience. One player takes on the role of the villain, while the rest play the heroes out for blood. The game unfolds through structured-yet-flexible storytelling acts. First, the villain brags about their nefarious deeds, and then the heroes step up to explain exactly how they've been wronged, building a motive for justice (or vengeance).

But it's not just a campfire chat; there's real gameplay involved. You'll use scene cards to set the stage and action cards to spice up the plot. If a fellow player's story is a bit too far-fetched, you can challenge them! Resolve these disputes with dice rolls to win cards and points. The goal is to score the most victory points by weaving a compelling narrative while strategically playing your hand. It's fast, it's funny, and it's perfect for groups who love social deduction and creative improvisation. If you enjoy games where the story is just as important as the mechanics, this-one is a must-play!
