Once Upon a Draft – The Heroic Draft

Once upon a time... your best strategy!

Welcome to a world where all fairy tales intertwine for the better and for laughter. In Once Upon a Draft, you don't just read stories, you create them by recruiting the most iconic characters from imaginary literature. This tactical card game uses the draft mechanic to offer fast-paced games, full of twists, turns, and dirty tricks.

The goal of the game? Secretly select characters to form the most powerful team and achieve victory through their special abilities and your card combinations.

A game mechanic based on choice and confrontation

The gameplay is fluid and emphasizes anticipation:

• The Draft Phase: Each turn, you choose a card from your hand before passing the rest to your neighbor. Can you spot the rare gem before your opponents?

• Characters and Abilities: Each hero has a strength level and unique powers. Some protect your points, others sabotage opponent's plans or boost your allies.

• Combo System: The essence of the game lies in the synergy between your cards. Combine the right characters to multiply your scores and surprise the table.

• Direct Confrontation: Once your team is ready, send your characters to the front! Playing the right card at the right time is crucial to turn the tide of the story.
