Alice

About this board game

Alice is a card game for 2–4 players that takes about 40 minutes, based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Players work to put the story’s crazed characters back into their respective chapters.

To complete a chapter, you must first find and collect the required characters. They are hidden across two different card decks, so building the right collection is an important part of bringing each chapter together. When a chapter card has all its demanded characters, you score its points.

However, not every character fits neatly into every chapter. Some need to be shrunk with a drink, while others must be increased in size with a cake before the story can be completed. Character abilities help you make these changes and manage the demands of the chapter cards.

• Collect characters hidden in two different card decks.
• Complete chapter cards by gathering their demanded characters.
• Change character sizes with drinks and cakes.
• Use special character abilities while restoring the story.
• Watch out for the mischievous Cheshire Cat.

Each completed chapter earns points, while the unusual rules of Wonderland create obstacles along the way. The Cheshire Cat adds an extra element of mischief, making the task of returning everyone to the correct chapters less straightforward than it first appears.

Released in 2018, Alice offers a compact card-game interpretation of the classic tale. Its focus on collecting characters, adapting their sizes, and completing story chapters brings the setting’s strange logic directly into play.
