Forks: 2nd Edition

About this board game

Forks: 2nd Edition is a fast card game for 2–6 players that plays in around 15 minutes. During a stylish tourist season, players choose which destinations to invest in and which to market, turning card passing into a clever contest of influence.

Each turn, pass cards to manipulate your neighbours into marketing the destinations you have invested in, while avoiding the ones they want to promote. The simple rules and quick gameplay make every decision matter, with the flow of cards shaping the choices available around the table.

The second edition introduces a striking new theme and artwork inspired by Art Deco tourism posters. Its visual style gives the game a distinctive travel-poster identity while preserving the accessible gameplay of the original Forks.

• Players: 2–6
• Playing time: approximately 15 minutes
• Core mechanic: simultaneous card passing and destination manipulation
• Variant: merge is included as an optional rule

Simultaneous play is now the standard in Forks: 2nd Edition, replacing the swap rule and significantly speeding up the game. This change also helps the game play well with larger groups of up to six players.

To support the updated format, each suit contains three additional cards instead of the bonus cards from the first edition. Released in 2024, Forks: 2nd Edition combines quick play, interactive card passing, and a memorable tourism-poster aesthetic in a compact experience.
