Objective of the Game
The goal of Fable Fruit is to collect a specific number of Fable Juice cards, which leads to victory. The number of juices required depends on the number of players.
Setup
- Each player chooses a pawn in their color.
- 6-8 different fruit cards are laid out on the table, representing different locations. These locations are available to all players and are determined by the respective playing cards.
- Each player starts the game with 2 fruit cards in hand.

After your action, you can choose to either stay at the same location or move your marker to an adjacent location.
