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)
- it was me Matt Marty and I forget the other gentleman's name it's bugging me that I'm forgetting his name he was fantastic he he was uh he worked with FFG and we played learned and played Great Western tra together Marty knew how to play and he taught us he did a fantastic job teaching the game
- so yeah so that that was another game I was really glad to have gotten a plan of anything else you want to mention before we move on from BG
- I love Jenga so of course I'm going to love what is wony what okay so it's uh it's just the these squares those little medium big squares but they're not quite squares the cubes are a little bit wonky you could say cuz they're like shaved on edges and so you can't really stack them properly you have to angle them
- that reminds me cuz the game came up uh Tada someone some asked about games that make make you laugh sure recently especially uh tadada and hex casters were great for making people laugh like the whole yes you know when you have to roll dice with your elbows on the table especially when someone had already played something on you and you have to have your elbows on your table and while you're doing something else yeah well you have the head on your table too and it's just impossible yeah that game's about being ridiculous super ridiculous yeah
- it's basically just looking around and seeing if there's vacant looks on everyone's faces like they don't understand what's going on especially if while I'm reading at the same time I'm not fully understanding the rules like if it's my first time reading through the rules trying to teach the game and I'm not quite fully understanding it so there's Factor number one if you as the teacher are like I'm not getting this working that's a great reason to box it up
- I actually enjoy these live shows a lot more than than doing the table talks enjoy them more you know what I mean they're a different kind of work like this we sit down I prepare stuff in advance takes time to set up but then when it's done it's done with table talk it's like we shot it for a couple of hours now we need to go edit that then we I likeed having the viewers be a part of it so then getting in their stuff and editing their content and it all is kind of time consuming not in a bad way but it's like you have to create time for that though if you're going to do it
- yes my hope is that we'll be able to have those uh available in the future as well
- I just played with Luke overcooked it's a couch only Co-op game and boy did we have a lot of fun our first play of it we were just cackling while playing that game

Quotes (from this video)
- I love Gloom Haven but due to the time and setup and tear down and having to replay many missions my wife and I haven't finished any of the games until now.
- I love buttons and bugs and for $15 I was able to take the cutest Gloom Haven on the planet which is a phrase I never thought I'd be saying on a business trip with me and play through three scenarios on the desk in the hotel.
- The size and simplicity and the duration all make this game a winner for me and most likely the first Gloom Haven I'll finish.
- I really enjoyed my play of buttons and bugs which I was not expecting.
- I enjoyed it that much I thought it was great and at some point there's a Twist and you go what how okay cool let's do that.
- This coin system has been the most remarkable bridge between different parts of the hobby that just really stands out and shows that it must be something very very special.

Quotes (from this video)
- Would not recommend.
- I feel like I must be missing something with this one because Coimbra is a game that I I I thought was fine. Like not even like good. It was just fine.
- Coimbra was a complete miss for me and my group.
- This one also did not work for me.
- It is a fast, light, simple game, but it's also not easy and it's also incredibly like so little decision making in this game.
- the game is random as far as you may get slapped in the face really, really hard in four out of five of the games and then get like a little lucky in the way things come out.
- I just think that I spent enough time on BoardGameGeek over the years that when ratings have been incentivized in some way...
- The vibe I got, like if I found out, I guess the way I'd put it is if I found out they ran a get $5 off your next purchase with us if you go rate the game on BGG, I wouldn't be surprised.

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
