Description

Once upon a time there was a marvelous forest full of gorgeous fruits. These fruits could be squeezed and mixed into the most delicious juices...

You live in a forest and are in search of the most savory fruits. Friendly forest dwellers will help you in different ways...

You are greedy and thirsty. Who will be the first to satisfy their appetite for Fabled Fruit?

Fabled Fruit is a Fable game, a new and unique concept in game experiences, where the gameplay changes over time. The game starts in an initial, simple state, but as you explore deeper into the game system, the mechanisms and gameplay will evolve over time.

You play the game many times, and each play changes the game slightly. Unlike in a Legacy game, however, the game is never permanently changed. At any time you may easily restart a Fable game from the beginning, either after you have run through the entire game system, or at any time during the many plays you will get from this game system. This Fable Game will remain just as playable on the 20th play as it was on the first plays of the game.

Quotes (from this video)
  • We're calling it a fable game and some of the elements of this you'll kind of think of as Legacy but it's non-destructive Legacy is really what it is so you don't Mark cards you don't tear cards but things are going to the game starts off in a simple State yes with with some mechanics that you'll recognize and some things you you'll figure out as it goes along but things will then come out from the box or from this big stack of location cards onto the Tableau and then they'll change the game State over time
  • It's a legacy element but we're calling it a fable game cuz it's completely not destructive and completely resettable at any point in there
  • Really cute artwork too um great like family weight game The Gamers in ESS and were going crazy for this was it ended up in the top 10 on the geek Buzz at number nine
