Read the full game description

Fairy Ring is a bright drafting and movement game about mushroom villages waking beneath the moon. Across two seasons, players simultaneously choose cards, add new mushrooms to their personal village, and guide fairies around the ring formed by every player’s tableau. A fairy scores mana as it visits villages, so the card that improves your own engine can also create an inviting stop for an opponent. Mushrooms may be stacked to strengthen effects and reshape the value of each route, while the modular circle changes as every village grows. The central tension is wonderfully interactive: draft for your plan, but watch the travel paths and decide whether a new mushroom will profit you before rival fairies pass through it. The forty-minute game keeps its rules light—closed drafting, placement, movement, and scoring—yet timing across two seasons gives each village a clear arc. Optional objectives broaden the puzzle for repeat groups.
