Allegory

GAME OVERVIEW

Compete with others as renowned authors, bidding with Lore chips in an interactive auction setting to collect stunning Theme cards and scribe a trilogy of Tales: Nature, Energy, and Spirit.  In the end, only one of your Tales will score.  Can you write your way into history?

In Allegory, compete with others as renowned authors, each scribing a trilogy of Tales: Nature, Energy, and Spirit. Master the use of Lore to incorporate powerful Themes into your Tales. At the end, you will be rewarded for weaving a hidden Moral throughout all of your Tales—but only the most concise Tale shall become a literary classic for the ages!

Bid using Lore chips, collect cards into three Tales, and create sets of Themes.  Choosing which Theme cards to take is important, not only because players each have a hidden goal to accomplish, but also because in the end, only the Tale with the lowest value is scored!  When you win a bid, you must skilfully distribute your Lore chips used across the remaining cards in the Inspiration Pool, to be taken by other players later!

  • A New Twist: Allegory offers  afresh take on bidding and auction games, providing fun and meaningful decisions.
  • High Player Interaction: Entertain from two to six players in a single game of Allegory, which means couples or larger player groups can participate in the fun.
