About this product

Product Description

Similo: Fables is a cooperative deduction card game where players work together to identify one secret fairy-tale character. One player gives silent clues using other character cards, while the rest of the group discusses which cards to remove. Guess carefully — remove the secret card too early and everyone loses.
