Fairy Tale Inn

This is everyone's favorite inn, and as always, the place is sold out!

The two owners of the hostel compete to take care of the guests in the best possible way. You take turns leading guests to their enchanted rooms, winning gold by strategically placing them and keeping guests from fighting (Note: NEVER put Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf in adjoining rooms).

In Fairy Tale Inn, two players attempt to win the most gold coins. Initially, players select the character cards of the guests who will be present during the game, then take the corresponding character tokens and throw them into the bag. Players then draw tokens to fill the guest list table. After randomly choosing who plays first, the first player receives one gold coin, while the other player receives two. The game can begin!

In turn, the player chooses a character token from the guest list board, paying the price indicated on the board, and then places that guest in the hostel, dragging the token onto the vertical game board (with the colored side facing himself while the monochrome side faces the opponent).

Once the token has been slid into the slot, the player can score points based on the room the guest has ended up in, as well as any other guests that may be in the vicinity. Each character has different abilities that indicate how he or she gives gold to the innkeeper.

For example, the 3 little pigs like to be close to each other; they automatically give the player who placed them 1 gold coin and an extra gold coin for each little pig connected to them. The Big Bad Wolf, on the other hand, gives his player three gold coins for each row where his innkeeper has played more Big Bad Wolf chips than his opponent at the end of the game. (In the event of a tie, neither player receives gold.) It's quite an art to place guests because many of the inn's rooms are enchanted and will give a bonus or penalty to the player who places a guest there.

The game continues until three columns of the hostel are completely filled. When this happens, players earn gold from characters with end-game abilities, and then the player who has earned the most gold is declared the winner.
