This is a "memory" type game, where players explore the forest looking under trees and finding items from different fairy tales. Players need to find an item and get to the castle and reveal under which tree the item is located. The catch: the objective is ever changing, so players need to remember everything they found under the trees.

Prospector, captain, mayor, trader, settler, craftsman or builder? Which roles will you play in the new world? Will you own the most prosperous plantations? Build the most valuable buildings? You have but one goal: achieve the greatest prosperity and highest respect by earning the most victory points.

The game is played over several rounds. In each round, each player chooses one of seven different roles and thereby, offers all players the action associated with that role.

In Citadels, you are a medieval ruler trying to complete your city before your opponents can build theirs. Expand your city by adding new districts, but be sure to invest wisely: some districts are more valuable than others, but cost more gold to build.

There is more to ruling a city than gold, however. Lords, ladies, and other nobility all have a role to play. The game changes each turn as each player secretly chooses a new role - the assassin, thief, magician, king, bishop, merchant architect or warlord - and the power that comes with it.

Nanofictionary is a game about telling tiny stories. You might say it's like a miniature short story writing contest in the form of a card game. Even an extremely short narrative can tell a complete short story, provided it contains each of the four specific "plot devices", namely: a Setting, a Problem, at least one Character, and a Resolution.
