Discards are displayed so that every card is visible-this is important because, on future turns, players have the option to draw from the deck, or take a previously discarded card.
In a bit more detail, the first player to take their turn will draw from the deck and then discard a card (it can even be the one they just drew) to the table. There are 10 different suits in the game. Turns are simple: take a card, discard a card. The deck is then placed in the center of the table. In Fantasy Realms, players are dealt a hand of seven cards, which they will refine throughout the game. Playtime can be anywhere from 5-20 minutes. There is certainly nothing to catch the eye in this generically themed game, but after watching some overviews and hearing positive opinions, I wanted to find out if there was, in fact, a little magic hidden beneath the lid.įantasy Realms is a drafting and set collection game for 2-6 players, though it plays best with 2-4. Sometimes great things come in unassuming packages, yet as gamers, we often judge games by their cover.
