Fast Forward: FEAR

About this board game

Fast Forward: FEAR is a fast-paced hand management game for 2–5 players, with play sessions lasting around 15 minutes. Chase ghosts, confront danger, and try to scare your opponents in a straightforward game built around tension.

FEAR uses the Fable Game system, first introduced in Fabled Fruit. You do not need to read a rules booklet before beginning. Instead, take the presorted deck, gather some fellow gamers, and discover the cards and rules as you play.

Each game reveals more of the system, creating an experience that develops over multiple sessions. It takes approximately 10–15 games of FEAR for your group to explore the entire system, making the opening plays part of the discovery.

• Players: 2–5
• Play time: 15 minutes
• Core style: Hand management and ghost chasing
• Rules: Learned gradually while playing

Once your group has explored the entire system, the game can be reset and played again by the same group or by different players. That makes the presorted deck a guided path through FEAR’s rules and possibilities, without requiring advance preparation.

Do you fear ghosts, or will you confront the danger while trying to scare everyone else? As the first of four completely different games in the Fast Forward series, FEAR offers a compact introduction to this distinctive approach to discovering a game as you play.
