There are multiple ways to play Fellowship of Fools: The Game: solo, with two players, or with multiple players. You can focus on building friendships with the Friendship deck, romantic relationships with the Romance deck, or sexual relationships with the Sexuality deck. You can also play with multiple decks at a time! Future decks that will soon be in development will be focused on Kink relationships and Community building and relationships.

We encourage players to experiment with the cards and find their own ways to play and submit your own ways to play and ideas for alternate prompts.

Setup for Play

Play works best when played around a table, as there is somewhere to place the cards, shuffle, and write on Character Sheets. Ambient noise can make it hard for some players to engage and immerse themselves in play, so finding a quiet space to play is best if possible.

Play can last as long as players want to, so make sure that all players are physically comfortable. If you are hosting at your home, consider offering food and beverages to other players, or organizing a potluck/shared meal. If you are playing somewhere else, especially in a public space, consider bringing some no-fuss snacks (ex: apples, bananas, granola, chips) to share with everyone and water bottle(s). Offer people water and make sure they know where the bathroom is. Ask players to put their devices on silent and away out of sight. Putting effort into making sure all players are comfortable and the space is appropriate for play can absolutely pay off and result in better play.

Before getting together to play multiplayer gameplay, print off and cut out Character Sheets and the FoF cards from the Print-to-Play file, or grab your physical edition.

While setting up play, separate the Code of Conduct, Gameplay Modes and Mods Cards from the other cards. Separate the Topic Cards and the Situation Cards into two stacks.
