Once Upon a Time
« on: December 12, 2005, 03:11:03 PM »
This is neither a miniature game nor a board game, but you play it on a table so I'll post it here. Last night Fish introduced us to an awesome game called "Once Upon a Time," similar to one that 42 has talked about before, and I wanted to give it a plug. It's a storytelling game where you try to play out your hand while weaving a sort of communal fairytale. Very good stuff, and it also has an expansion--and you can buy sets of blank cards. My family has been advised that it would make a great gift.

I discovered last night that Dragon's Keep sells the expansion.  Where can you get the sets of blank cards?

They do? Well, I know what I'm buying with my new ebay money.

I've only seen the blank set on their website, Fish.

You definately need the blank cards--because every good story needs ninjas.
