Fear (Fast Forward #1)

This is the first of Friedemann Friese's "Fast Forward" series. Like the others in the series, you learn each game by playing it. Inside the small, square box is a pack of large format cards with an important message on the first card: "do not shuffle". Drawing the first card reveals the first rule and the game gets under way. As you play, the rules develop and change. At the end, the cards can be put away so that, the next time it’s played, you start from the state the game was left in (or can re-set to the beginning).

Fear starts off really simple, but as more rules appear it gets more and more subtle. A single game can be over in 10 minutes, which is why I suggest playing several games in a row. This also lets players start to psych each other out… It makes an excellent filler, in part because you can play it for 10 minutes, half an hour or carry on until dinner time. However, it’s also a subtle game that rewards continued play and makes a good introduction to the series (see also Fortress and Fortune).

For 2-5 players, aged 8+, playing time 15 minutes: £15.00 (£12.50 tax free outside the UK)
