Book Reviews of Once Upon A Time

Book Review: Addictive
Summary: 5 Stars

I went to my local gaming store looking for a game that could be a bridge between the complicated nerdy games like Arkham Horror, Runebound, etc. and your regular games like Apples to Apples. The helpful staff suggested this game.

This game is way more fun then it has the right to be... given how simple it is to play.

Pros:

1. The cards are of good quality.
2. The rules are clear and not too long
3. The game play is fast so you can really play several games a night.

Cons:

My brother keeps borrowing my copy of the game (sometimes without asking) to share it with other people.

My brother plays this game with his friends to help encourage their creative juices so they can be better game masters in RPG games. It definitely has you thinking on your feet like a game master needs to. =)

My mom, who doesn't pick up games very quickly, picked up this game in about 2 hands of playing and had a blast.

When it was played at my wedding, people loved it and played it several times.

This game is awesome. If you are considering picking it up, please know that this is [...] well spent. You will enjoy it immensely.

Summary of Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time is a game in which the players create a story together, using cards that show typical elements from fairy tales. One player is the Storyteller, and creates a story using the ingredients on her cards. She tries to guide the plot towards her own ending. The other players try to use cards to interrupt her and become the new Storyteller. The winner is the first player to play out all her cards and end with her Happy Ever After card.

The second edition of Once Upon a Time is available now. It features a full-color format, beautiful new art, an extended card set, high-quality linen-finish cards, and blank cards to script your own endings.
