Fast Forward: Furcht

A Fable Game

Fast Forward is a series of games, based on the new Fable concept. Games using the Fable concept feature pre-sorted stacks of cards, which are used according to the rules of the individual game and introduce all cards and rules in the course of several games, played one after the other. You can interrupt play, continue at any time or begin again with another group of players. In Fast Forward Games, you do not read any rules at all, but begin to play from the first card on. Furcht asks the question: Are you afraid of ghosts or will you confront danger and frighten your opponents in a fast and simple game?

The game features 90 cards, numbered from 1 to 90 and stacked face-down in this order; numbers are of no importance in the game, but only serve to sort and reset the cards for a new game. The top card names the first rules: In turn players either draw the top card from the stack in hand or play a card from their hand on the table. You must not pass your turn! After some cards, the next rule card appears, it defines a limit for the number of cards in hand, an additional rule and the end of the game; later cards can also trigger special effects.

In general, you need about 10 to 15 games, until you manage to arrive at the end of the stack before the game end has been triggered; you can, as already mentioned, play again anytime you want.

As unusual this concept does sound, as easily it is played and an as much fun it does provide. It is the ideal introduction to the range of Fast Forward and Fable games; all rules are on display and are entered into the game well-timed!
