Your opponents include villains such as Captain Hook, the Queen of Hearts, and the Great Oz. Defeating villains rewards you with special items and helps prepare your team for the ultimate challenge.

Storybook Saga builds toward a decisive confrontation with the final boss. Defeat that boss to win the game in this compact solo adventure of character drafting, dice manipulation, and classic storybook clashes.
