Fairy Tale Inn Board Game

This game is reminiscent of the classic Connect 4 game with its “drop tiles” action in seven columns across six rows that represent the Fairy Tale Inn. What is different is that there is more depth, challenge, and fun for a wide range of ages with its additional scoring criteria.  During the game, players can earn coins in several ways, and at the end, the person with the most coins wins! 

There are eight distinctive character cards included that represent the guests that visit the Fairy Tale Inn, each of which have their own abilities and rewards.  For each game, five characters are randomly chosen and their matching tiles placed in a cloth “draw bag.”   

There is a guest list board where four starting tiles from the bag are placed. In this two-player contest, the first player chooses a tile from the guest list board. Two of the tiles are free, one costs one coin, and one costs two coins.  Next, pick a column slot in the Fairy Tale Inn to drop the tile into, considering its character abilities, rewards, and game-end coin collection parameters.  Some of the tile spaces have immediate rewards, such as taking a second tile or earning coins.  There are also a few board slots that result in the loss of a tile’s abilities. Following are examples of how three different characters work in the game to earn points:
