Once Upon a Time. . . In a small town, after their stories were all told, there lived all the Fairy Tale characters from every book. Cinderella lived with her step sisters, then her prince. The 3 Little Pigs built their homes along the same road that the 3 Billy Goats crossed the Troll’s bridge. Little Red Riding Hood traveled through the woods in the town to visit her Grandma every week and in those same woods, Hansel and Gretel got lost away from home. In the little town live Rumpelstiltskin and even Aladdin and his magic lamp. Things were going along, happily ever after, until one day, the Big Bad Wolf was up to no good. He captured those Fairy Tale characters and made them all stay in the big castle at the edge of town so he could eat them all for his dinner. Will you help rescue the Fairy Tales from the Big Bad Wolf? Home Page

Game Directions The goal of the game is to start at the beginning of town and make your way through the forest, past the pigs’ houses, over the bridge and to the castle at the edge of town to save the Fairy Tales. To play the game you have to roll the dice to see how many places you can move, then answer a question. If you get the question correct, you get to move the spaces, but if you do not get it right, you have to stay where you are. But be careful, along the path there are adventure cards and if you land on one, you must do exactly as it says. To win the game you have to get to the castle to save the Fairy Tales before any of the other players. Return
