Read the full game description

A collection of old fairy tales has been torn apart. Pages from different stories are all mixed together and strewn about. Can you find the connections between the scattered characters to put their stories back together? Reunite the characters in clever ways to win the game! Wonder Tales is a quick tile-laying set-collection micro-game for two players. Each of the 17 game cards is double sided, with the same fairy tale character on both sides, but with different colored highlights. Players take turns placing cards on a shared tableau with their color showing. Once the tableau is full, scores are tallied depending on which combinations of characters and/or colors lie adjacent to each player's cards. A game consists of 2-3 rounds, with the tableau shape changing each round.
