Fairy Tale Inn

Fairy Tale Inn is a delightful two-player game that's easy to learn but offers surprising depth. The premise is simple: you're competing to be the best innkeeper at the Fairy Tale Inn, attracting guests like Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, and other storybook characters.

What I love about this game is its blend of strategy and lightheartedness. The gameplay is reminiscent of Connect Four, but each character has unique abilities that add a layer of complexity. For example, the Little Pigs reward you for placing them near each other, while the Big Bad Wolf scores points based on your overall control of the inn. This element of character strategy really elevates the game beyond simple placement.

The artwork is charming and well-done, adding to the overall appeal. While some reviewers have mentioned a desire for more characters, I found the existing selection sufficient for a fun and varied gameplay experience. My six-year-old son loved playing with me, and even though he managed to beat me a few times, I never felt bored. The game offers a balance of challenge and accessibility that makes it enjoyable for both kids and adults.

Overall, Fairy Tale Inn is a fantastic choice for family game night or a casual game with friends. It's a fun, strategic, and surprisingly addictive experience that's sure to become a favorite in your collection.
