Games With Fairy Tale Themes

Here are games with fairy tale themes for players of most ages.

Once Upon a Time: The Storytelling Card Game:
Once Upon A Time is a game in which the players create a story together, using cards that show typical elements from fairy tales. One player is the Storyteller, and creates a story using the ingredients on her cards. She tries to guide the plot towards her own ending. The other players try to use cards to interrupt her and become the new Storyteller. The winner is the first player to play out all her cards and end with her Happy Ever After card.

Once Upon A Time: Dark Tales An Expansion for the Fairy Tale Storytelling Card Game:
Explore the grim side of your stories with the addition of the Dark Tales expansion to your Once Upon a Time storytelling card game. The 56 cards included in the set are designed to be mixed in with the original Once Upon a Time game, to provide new story elements and endings. In these stories, trolls lurk under every footbridge, inconsolable wraiths search for their lost loves, fiends tempt the innocent, and evil stepmothers serve up children in tasty stews. Not every fairy tale has a happy ending...

Once Upon a Time: Create-Your-Own Storytelling Cards:
In Once Upon a Time, players create a story together using cards that show typical elements and endings from fairy tales. Now you can introduce your own ideas with the Create-Your-Own Storytelling Cards expansion. The 40 "Once Upon a Time" cards and 16 "Happy Ever After" cards included in this set all have blank faces, so that players can add their own inspiration to the game. Just use permanent markers to draw your own illustrations on the cards, then mix them together with your copy of the Once Upon a Time storytelling card game to let your fancy fly free!

From the Manufacturer: A wonderful new game based upon the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. Players move their princesses (who are sleeping on plastic bed movers) along the board, building their bed higher and higher as they go. The player with the highest bed at the end wins!
