Familiar Tales is a co-operative, deck-building, fantasy adventure for 1-4 players. It's an exciting narrative game in which players take on the roles of a wizard's familiars, entrusted with saving and raising a displaced princess. They must keep her safe from the evil forces that would see her dead, but when it comes to children, it is not enough to merely survive! The familiars know that every choice they make will affect the young one in their care. If they are victorious and the throne is reclaimed, what kind of woman will sit upon it?
Players will explore a massive world through the pages of a fantastical story book filled with branching paths and memorable characters. Fight off enemies, and explore the many nooks and crannies of an enchanted world. Experience a professionally narrated, fully scored, decade-spanning fantasy epic. Easily downloadable for both Mac and Windows, this browser-based app is required to play Familiar Tales. Think of it as an automated game master and storyteller! The app also features a digital, searchable rulebook.
An innovative card play system allows players to level up their familiars by building and customizing their skill decks. Players will use their skill cards to perform all manner of exciting actions throughout their campaign.

Customer Reviews
We had so much fun playing this game (with my 8yo son, playing two characters each), with did the whole campaign twice just to make different choices the second time. The app is great with music and voice actors. I definitely recommand for families looking for an approachable narrative board game . Some rules details/specifications might be a bit unclear but I recommand you just make those decisions for yourself and enjoy the story with your kid!
We have an extensive boardgames collection and this game has one of the worst rulebooks we have ever seen. There are so many rules that are simply never covered so you have to constantly go to BGG to see if answers are there or just make up house rules. Very frustrating to pay $100 for an incomplete game. Components and artwork are great (although one watcher was broken). Voice acting and story are well done. Love the theme and really wanted to love the game, but it's hard to play a game without a full set of rules.
