Read the full game description
Fae is an area-influence game in which every player secretly represents one of five druid colors. On a turn, a player selects a region containing druids and moves every druid there into one adjacent occupied region. If the move completely isolates the destination group, a ritual scores points for the colors present, provided the group contains no more druids than the number of adjacent empty regions. The twist is that nobody owns the color they move, and identities remain hidden until the end. Players can advance their own spirit while disguising that interest, support a rival color to deflect suspicion, or force rituals that lock unfavorable groups out of scoring. Highest score after all spirit identities are revealed wins.
