Once Upon a Time: Dark Tales

About this expansion

Once Upon a Time: Dark Tales is an expansion for the fairy tale storytelling card game for 2–6 players, with a play time of 30 minutes.

Explore the grim side of storytelling by mixing its 56 cards with the original Once Upon a Time game. The expansion adds new story elements and endings, giving familiar fairy tale adventures a darker direction.

In these tales, danger can hide beneath even the most ordinary details. Trolls lurk under footbridges, wraiths search for lost loves, fiends tempt the innocent, and evil stepmothers prepare sinister stews.

• 56 cards designed to be mixed with the original game
• New fairy tale story elements and endings
• Dark themes featuring trolls, wraiths, fiends, and evil stepmothers

Rather than promising a traditional happy ending, Dark Tales invites players to explore stories where the outcome can be grim. Its cards bring a distinctive mood to the original storytelling experience while remaining part of the same fairy tale world.

Released in 2004, Once Upon a Time: Dark Tales offers a compact way to expand your collection with darker inspiration. Add it to your original game when you want your shared tales to take an unsettling turn—and remember that not every fairy tale has a happy ending.
