About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the world of Unfairy, a game where you embody a peculiar fairy tale character on a mission: to be the hero of your own story! Forget the classic tales; here, the fight is real against popular legendary characters, and the goal is to become stronger by stealing from and annoying your opponents. At the start, each player chooses a character with unique traits – imagine playing as a hysterical fairy, a faint-hearted knight, or a mage eager for adventure. With 400 possible combinations, every game promises a fresh experience!

Using 5 crystals as your main attributes, you'll spend them as resources to activate magical items, face encounters, sabotage your friends, and race towards the final confrontation with a legendary relic that grants victory. It's a race against time and other players, where every turn is crucial for building power and standing out. Unfairy blends deck, bag, and pool building with dice rolling and plenty of direct interaction, the classic 'take that' mechanic, all wrapped in a humorous and fantastical theme. It's an adventure that demands strategy and a good sense of humor to handle the twists and the friends' mischief. Prepare to create your own version of a fairy tale, a rather... unusual one!
