Fairy Go Round

About Fairy Go Round

Fairy Go Round is a strategic card game where players navigate a shifting forest using path cards to summon fey creatures for their fairy circle. Gather fairy dust, use wild magic, and leverage the talents of your recruits to get ahead. The first one to complete their fairy circle wins!

Interfere with opponents by moving their creatures, altering path layouts, or blocking their way. The forest itself is dynamic: rearrange cards to reshape terrain, create shortcuts, or trap rivals, turning the wild woods into a merry-go-round of mischief and magic. Victory goes to the player who can best channel the chaos in their favor!

Game Modes

Free-For-All

Free-For-All is a chaotic, no-holds-barred showdown where all players vie to complete their fairy circle first. Use sabotage spells to steal fairy dust, trap rivals in endless loops, or reroute path cards to block opponents’ routes. Cast mischievous magic to swap pieces, reverse paths, or move fey to disrupt others. Victory goes to the first player who closes their circle.

Teams Mode: Silly vs. Unsilly

Teams Mode pairs players into two teams of two: the Silly Court and Unsilly Court, blending cooperation and competition as each duo races to complete their fairy circle. Teammates may share resources, strategize path layouts, and cast joint spells, outmaneuvering the opposing team through shared sabotage. Victory goes to the team who returns all their fey folk to their circles first, with every card played shaping the wild, shifting woods as both allies and opponents vie for supremacy.

Co-Op Mode: Solstice Festival

In Co-Op mode, players unite to battle the chaotic wilds and complete all fairy circles before the Solstice Festival. As the forest shifts unpredictably... paths vanish, obstacles spring up, and fey folk are disoriented, players must work together to cast magic, gather fairy dust, and strategize path layouts. Each player contributes unique abilities to navigate the ever-changing terrain, and make sure that every fey makes it back safely.

Lore

In the heart of the fae realm, where moonlight dances through emerald leaves and the air hums with enchantment, a quiet stir begins among the fairies. The time has come once more for The Ritual of the Fairy Circle: a sacred gathering that determines the ruling Court of the forest for the next hundred years.

You are the chosen leader of your fairy kin. Your quest: to journey along the winding forest path, seeking out kindred spirits hidden in their mossy hollows and petal-covered homes. One by one, you must call them to your cause, weaving a circle of six pixies, joined in unity and purpose.

But you are not alone.

Another faction stirs, fluttering their wings and whispering charms, eager to form their own circle and lay claim to the leadership of the land. They, too, gather, racing down the path, their laughter echoing like chimes in the night.

Magic flows freely in the forest, and with it, the chance to aid your kin—or to confound your rivals. With a flick of your hand, you may scatter pixie dust or use your magic to persuade your collaborators, aid your journey, or cast trickery to misguide the others, leading them astray among twisting trails and illusioned glades.

Only one circle may be formed beneath the moon’s full gaze. Only one leader may rise to guide the fate of the fair folk.
