Read the full game description

Life isn't easy in the enchanted forest. Elves and gnomes each have their own network of hidden paths. They don't want to be disturbed and will move into their houses only once they're protected from outsiders. Will you find your way or be lost in the forest? In Fairy Trails, players play cards that expand the road network. Once a road is completed, that player may place a stone on each of their houses that are bordering that road. The player who places all their houses first wins. —description from the publisher
