About this board game
Fame & Fable is a fantasy-themed competitive board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes.
Players use their actions to acquire ally cards and item cards from the market. These cards can be played to pursue different paths to fame, from confronting monsters to completing contracts or disrupting other players.
Every exploit helps you gain fame. As your fame increases, move your player token around the game track and collect bonus tokens along the way. The track turns your progress into a visible race, while the market gives you cards to support your plans.
