Fairy life was once such aninnocent, dreamlike affair,

with the day's events consisting oflovely tastes and songs, of sharinggiggles, playing games with squirrels.

finger·painting on dried leaves. and soon. There were no concerns for survival, and themost pressing issues were usually things like, "do

we have enough berry wine for the party'?" or. "now..., ....... that we've licked all the honey off, how many of us can

fit onto that sunny patch of moss and go for II noontimenapT

Oh, but those beautiful days ended a very long time ago.Today, their lives have direction, their actions have agoal. This is to eat as many of their friends as possible.But before we get into that, let's take a look at the crea·tores themselves.

The Common FairyFairies are cute, tiny little creatures, standing approx-i­mately 23mm high. They belong to no order within theanimal kingdom. If one had to classify them as any­thing, it would be among those odd, improbable entitieswe might call "spirits": although they are mostly mater·ial and not really very .vpiritual. as most would think ofit. Their origins are unknown but certainly ancient, andprobably didn't involve evolution of any sort. Theyseem to change mannerisms and clothes over timeaccording to the current trends among humans, so it ispossible that they relied (and still rely) on human influ­ence to develop. Anolher theory is that they influencehuman creativity in some mysterious way, and that theirstyles and trends actually influence ours...

Appearance and AnatomyTheir skin varies in hue. from snow white to mauve toorange, and is usually decorated with colorful paintedstripes and spirals. Hair can be just about any color, bulis usually one of the bright colors nature reserves forpoisonous things, like blue or bright yellow. This rajn·bow apparition is framed by a pair of shimmering insectwings. All fairies have wings of some sort. 1bese areusually brightly colored, iridescent buuerlly wings,

although in the southern hemi­sphere and much of Asia, glittering dragonflywings are also common. A fairy's wings, solidthough they may look. are magical in natureand act solid only to the willed touch of fairiesand of the air, which they were made to beat against. Ifa person tried to touch a fairy wing. the finger wouldpass right through. as though the wing were an illusionor irresponsive hallucination; a fairy, however, couldtear one in half with her hands.

Fairies usually look somewhat child-like and androgy·oaus, leaning somewhat more towards female thanmale; as reproduction is not a fairy function. they theo­retically don't have any genitaliat: at least not to any·one's knowledge. They are lightwcight and spindly,what one of us might call "impossibly thin". Accordingto legend, their shape came from the dreams of ancientman. 11ley have large. slightly slanted eyes, and twOseemingly functionless antcnnae originating at Ihe inneredges of the eyebrows. Breasts are negligible, andthough lithe and shapely, there is no muscle tone on afairy frame. Male or female, no-one seems to know; allwho see them enjoy the vision, at any rate. They areunequivocally charismatic and adorable.

The innards of a fairy are a simple affair. The maw con­sists of two singlc cresccnt'shaped tooth-ridges, whichrespectively span the upper and lower jaw. as wouldrows of teeth. These incisive implements border a thin,triangulartt tongue, which can be stretched and extend­ed (after some difficult oml exertion) to a length longenough for the fairy to clean her own eyeballs. Past thetongue, we come to a dark and mysterious channelwhich leads into the fairy's chest and abdomen. Todescribe the loathsome details of what lurks within Ihatwann. wet, wretched place would require dissection onthe part of the author, as there are no medical resourcespertaining to such things. 11le author thinks dissection isicky and smelly. The author was intentionally absentfrom biology classes on several occasions as a youth.You're a sick, naughty littlc badger for even wanting toknow what :1 fairy's slimy bloody gully-wulS are like.Boys are so gross.

Fairy LivesA fairy life span is typically around four years. Theypop QUI of pods which grow. apparently at random.from amber drops on IrcC.~ in thc Springtime (undevel­oped fairy-pods are a most yummy delicacy amongfairies: they lack any nutrients. but feed theaddiction nicely). Fairies emerge fullygrown. although a liulc ~""'.,.

In thedar klabyrinthine treetops for hungryfairies to unknowingly pass

them by. Sometimes, a filiry willchance upon a pod thaI's about (0 halch. and will killand eat the fairy thc moment it pops out (a common tac­

tic among weakened OJ" crippled fairies). On a few rareoccasions, the newborn wins. and gets a good healthybreakfast to start Ihc long, beautiful day wecall life. She usually has to vomit up a load of birthing­fluid out of her belly first.

How Fairies Got That WayThis all Slallcd nOt 100 long ago. in Ihe spring of 1917.MCITyzot. a newly born fairy. hadjusl found some honeyand was on her way to tell her friends. She was disrfact­ed by a frail of ants. which she followed to a large. glow­ing mushroom. Arrer a quick bitc and a nap. she awoke10 find a dying mouse by her side and a hunger in herbelly. One minule passed. and Merry made history as!he firsl fairy 10 eat meal.

Fairies Among ManMany fairies have relocated to places where men live, orvice versa. The presence of free food lying around intheir kitchens and pantries hasn't affected the practice ofanimal hunting, though. People food is usually cookedor stale, and their wine is bitter and sour. But people

themselves come in all SOilS of size..., and the little onesmake funny noises when they're being ripped up bydozens of busy, tiny knives and hatchelS. They don'ttaste too bad with honey, either.

These keep company with each other for the strengthof numbers and the subsequently increased chance forvictory in a scuffle. Often. these fairies get a littleattached to each other. sometimes so much that thestrongest of them will draw their own blood for theweakest to drink. in the name of survival of the whole.Sometimes these tighter groups give themselves a groupname and designate the strongest as leaders. and wearmatChing war-paint and garments. Fairies are very poorat sustaining healthy social systems. though, and theserelationships usuaUy break down aher some of them getbored and try to cat each other. Treachery in these fairy­packs is quite common, and it isn't unusual for a weak­er members disappearance to coincide with a strongermember merrily glowing for no admitted reason.

A h:lOdful of people are sharp enough to have seen fairiesin action. and some have made slUdies of Fairies andtheir ways. These are usually artists and poets, and somOSt infonnation concerning finds itself told throughstories. plays, art, and (less accurately) miniature games.There has been much speculation about exactly why thisiii. One expltll1ation come from Gustav Abbasid, photog­n1pher and fonner profesiiOr of psychology 3t Berkeley,Califomia. who was fired in 1963 following the pubica­tion of his report Fairies, Crow-People. and RelatedMythological Pheollomena, and who later went into soli­tude in the woods. He speculated thai creativity is "a kindof warmth or vitality felt to supernatural, and thus natu­rally anractive to ethereal animals who seek shelter fromthe cold felt in its absence," While his repon is still held

to be true by some odd Theosophists and the modemfringe, it fails to mention any of the strange behavioramong fairies today. But we know the truth!

OrganizationMost fairies live together in naturally-forming Circles.A Circle is a son of tribe that shares meat within itself tobetter distribute the precious goods, Circles usuallyreside in tree stumps, abandoned wood-mouse warrensor hallowed-out bee or wasp hives (the original inhabi­

tants of these dwellings usually gel relocated to thatwarm, wet place mentioned earlier). The advantage of

being in a Circle is that you never go completely hungry,as a few successful hums can feed every fairy in theCircle, at least enough to stave ofT withdrawal. But woebetide the fairy who eats all the day's winnings andreturns healthy and empty-handed: dozens of hungry.angry and betrayed fairies are more than a small prob­lem for even a well-fed hunter.

There are also small packs of fairies wandering theforeslS. groups who are independent of any Circle.

Fairy MeatFairies are all utterly addicted to fairy meat. The prac­tice of cannibalism has so perverted the universal fairyspirit thai they are addicted to the flesh of their kin frombinh. born knowing thaI fairy-meat will ease the numbpain in their heads. This addiction is coupled whh thethrill of hunting. the red haze which infects the mindafter a fresh kill, lIle drum of being strOng enough to eat

anyone in the world. The Hum is Life, you see. Ifthey're well fed. they still occasionally have time for alittle fun between hunts, but that's mainly just to pass the

time until they're hungry again.

Fairy StyleCreative creatures from binh. fairies love to decorate.and often their bodies are all they have to work wil.h.Seeing a fairy, you might conclude lIlat they s~nd Jotsof lime putting together their colorful outfits and paint·iog their faces. In truth. this comes SO naturally to thefairy folk thaI they really don't need 10 try at alL Thesimplest (and most common) fairy dress consisl~ of tie­dye rags and headbands. as well as tiny mocca~ins,

Many have adopted styles which seem a bit more mod­em and human (but still very fairy), adopting knee­boots, gloves. T-shirts, kneepads and elbow-pads,Exactly where these artifacts come from is unknown,but it probably involves Twinkle-magic: there's just noway a fairy could find tiny rhinestones in the wild,

The Playing FieldYou can make a model of the forest floor out of styro­foam and plywood if you like. but it's really not neces­sary. lbe world of fairies is our very own mooem Earth.you see, and the playing pieces are all actual-sjze, so anyplace in the world is actually your very own highly­detailed three-dimensional game board! Fairies origi­nate in the forest, but their new hunting habits havecaused them to be found all over. Bus stops, alleys,kitchen tables. and laundromats have been stained byfairy blood. Of course. you ean't easily play it under­water or atop an active volcano: be sensible, man.

Once you've got everything you need, you're almostready to begin playing. First. however, you'll need to

read the rules. Tum the page. and begin your educationin the how~to's of itty-bitty bulterfly.winged butchery!

Some Very Bad Places to Play Fairy Meat:• Darkened movie theatres• The intensive care ward• The middle of the road• Prison (unless you're already there)• Subterranean steam tunnels• On a table being used by other gamers (the fairies land­ed here and staned fighting! Honest! ...011.', hey! Gil'eme back Illy loolh!)

Some Rather Nice Places to Play Fairy Meat:• A local forest preserve• A cluttered table or desk• That filthy mess you call a bedroom• A church or other plnce of worship• The food court at the mall

If playing in an open area. you might like to section offa playing field with tape or string. to eomain the baltle.Avoid the floors of bustling public places. and anyplaceillegal or dangerous. Basically, anywhere you can liedown and sleep without waking up dead, imprisoned, orpartially eaten. Here's some ideas:

rn--trocluc.--tionWhat is Fairy Meat?

Fairy meal, the substance, isthe magical. addictive meal of

a fairy. As the game you hold in yourhands concerns the collection anddigestion of fairy meal, it, 100, is called

Fair)' Meat. But what manner of game isthis. you ask?

Fairy Meat Slr.tyS from this definition a bit. You see,miniatures in Fairy Meat are actual size, and use theworld as their game board! This is because real fairiesare actual size. and usc our world as their bloodyplaypen. This game is thus an incn:dibly accurate sim­ulation of fairy combat in this respeCI.

What You'll NeedTo begin playing, you' II need (0 have the following:• Two or more players (including yourself, silly!)The game is truly ideal for three or more players, buttwo is enough.• A deck of cards of the standard Poker variety. Ifyou're playing with lots of people. or don't want to shuf­fle quite so often, you can combine two decks. but thiscan lead to some pretty extraordinary hands. Keep thoseloveable Jokers in the deck!

• Fairy Cards and Counters. These are providedwith the game, and may be copied for personal use.Counters can be glass beads. coins, whatever you like.You'll also need some playing pieces or miniatures to

represent fairies on the board; some splendid paper fig­ures are provided for you herein.• A Ruler or Measuring Tape, marked in inches, tomea."ure the movemenl of the miniatures. The Metricsystem is forbidden, as it makes too much sense, andgives fairies headaches.

Fairy Meat falls into the category of "miniaturewargamc". For lhose new to the hobby. this silly termrefers to the type of game which simulates combat usingsmall plastic, paper, or metal models ("miniatures").The movements of these diminutive desuoyers is usual­ly measured in spaces or inches, along a board or map ofa correspondingly small Si7.e.

You'lI also need a place to play: a fairy banlefield inwhich combat will take place. Be it a messy dorm roomor an area of forest floor. a playing area must be agreed

~.........~ you go on 10 the aclUai roles. read thislillie list. to familiarize yourself with

our new fairy \'ocabulary:

Kill Points· Kill Points are what a fairy uses to attack(hence Kif{ Poi/lts). When a player auaclu.. she draw~ anumber of cards based on her fairy's Kilt Points.

Fairy Deck • Any ordinary d....ck of playing card..Utal. when used with lhis game. becomes a magically­

powered randomizer of de:uh and destruction. Thecards drawn from the Fairy Deck are USl.'<! as OrderCards and for random draws to resolve Anacks.Wrestling. Twinkle and Olher events requiring a rnndomdm\\'.

Fairy Cards - These are special cards players usc tokeep track of an individual fairy's Live. Kill. andTwinkle Points. Each fairy on lhe board has her ownindividual Fairy Card.

Twinkle Points - Twinkle Points are what a fairy uses[0 cast spells. or "Twinkle".

,•

After such a draw, each player selects one numberedcard and any supporting trumps from her hand, Theattacker places her main card face·down, then placesany supponing trumps behind it. (Each Trump placeddown adds I to Ihe value of the number card, so an 8and IWO trumps is considered a 10). The defender thendoes the same. After the players are done placing theirselected cards down. tum the cards face-up. WhoevergelS lhe highcst total result is the winner of !hal partic­ular conflict.

JokersJokers are panicularly liked by !he magical luck-mon­keys, as they serve to screw up the player's intendedresults. They have different effects on different situa­tions, and only have to be played if the holding playerwishes, or if it's the only card available. If a playerplays a Joker. il is lhe only card played; that player maynOI place other cards down. The effects of Jokers aredescribed throughout lhe rules. according to situation. Iftwo involved fairies should get jokers, they cancel eachother out, and nothing exciting happens.

Wild TrumpsIf a player places a trump as her main card (perttapsbecause she drew no numbered cards in her hand), it'scalled a Wild Trump. When the cards are revealed, theplayer draws another card. and places it on top of thewild trump. This continues until the top card is a num­bered card. The value of the wild trump is considered tobe the number of the card on top, plus one for eachtrump beneath it.

In such contests, fairies always want to get a higherresult !han their opponents, so drawing a greater numberof cards increases a fairy's chance of drawing a highercard to play.

Example: Mableton a fairy~ plays a Killg as her maindefense card. Once the players reveal their main cards,Mabletart (Who every'one /lOW knows ha.f played a WildTrump), draws another card and places it atop the King.It's a Queen (aI/other Trump), so she place~' it atop thewild frump and draw.f another card. The next card is aNine, which makes theftl/al value ofher main card (9 +2)= II.

A fairy can playa wild trump as her main carcl and stilluse more trumps as support cards.

There are also blanks on the card for writing down thefairy's name and armament. You should remember eachfairy's name, so you know which particular card refers toher. You might like to use pencil, so you can erase what­e\'er you write. We recommend you laminate the cardsand use a fine-point dry-erase marker for marking them,so they can be re-used. You'll kill many more trees thisway. as you will conslantly be buying tissues [Q wipe offthe cards; the resulting two-dimensional deforestedwastelands enable one 10 see many more stars at night,which is good.

The Fairy DeckIn life. nothing is cenain; the mischievous spirit-mon­keys of Luck have the last word in who lives and whodies. It is their law that almost every game contains amndomizer, a device for these ethereal monkeys tomanipulate events in our world. Usually, players usedice. coins or knuckle-bones for lhis purpose. but inFairy Meat, we use a slandard deck of Poker cards. con­taining both jokers. This comprises lhe Fairy Deck fromwhich players draw their cards.

TrumpsKings. Queens, Aces and Jacks are known as TrumpCards here. and function differently than the numbercards listed above, in thm they are used to bolster thestrength of nonnal cards or to regenerate Twinkle Points.This is ex.plained in more detail below.

Numbered CardsCards in Fairy Meal are ranked from lowest to highest inthe typical order, Twos through Tens. These are hereaftercalled the /lumbered canis. for ease of reference. There isno hierarchy of the particular suits (Hearts, Spades,Diamonds and Clubs). but if the players agree, they canscttle upon one to eliminate ties.

Drawing HandsWhen fairies are called upon to draw cards against eachother, the players use their fairies' Live and Kill Points10 determine how many cards they draw. For instance,in normal fairy combat, the attacker draws her Killagainsl the defender's U'·e. This means the attackingplayer draws as many cards as her available fairy's KillPoinls (remember if Li\'e, Kill or Twinkle Points are inthe Meat area lhey are NOT available), and the defend­ing player draws as many cards as her fairy's availableLive Points.

ues until one of threethings happens:

Redmw any ties and the player with the higher cardchooses whether her fairy will take her tum before orafter the other fairy(ies) with the formerly tied OrderCard.

Upon hearing her fairy's Order Card being called. aplayer may choose lO take her turn or wait until hernumber is reached again. After the countdown reachesAces, the count goes back up from Two to Kings. Anyplayer whose initiati ve card is cal led during this secondcount must take her turn.

The TurnEach game of Fairy Meat is broken into rowuls. Eachround. every player takes a turn with all fairies underher COntrol. After the laS! player has taken her turn. ifthe game isn't over, a new round begins. This comin-

Selecting FiguresThe next step is for the players to select their fairies.Scenarios might call for u specific assortment ofpieces nnd weapons to each plnyer. or a Force Limit.Unless otherwise specified by a i\cenario. each fairystam the game with all of her points (includingTwinkle Points) in the Fairy area of the card. Thefairy's weapon counters should be placed in the Meatsection. (For more information on selecting and arm­ing your little fairy warband. see the section entitledThe Fairy Lists below)

The Playing AreaBefore the game actually starts. the players musl des­ign3le a playing area. Make sure it meets uny particu­lar criteria described in the sccnario!

Entering the BattlefieldHow fairies get on the batllcfield is also described inthe scenario. If they sel up directly on the playing area.as opposed to entering along the battlefield's border. a··round zero" will take place. During round zero. play­ers draw Order Cards (as described below) to deter­mine who sets up first, second. etc. If they like, theplayers might also start off the area during turn zeroand enter along the edge during the first turn (assum­ing the playing arca has an edge).

PreparationExactly what the players are

meant to achieve during II

battle is explained by the scenario,which they have agreed upon.,..--Oi:" beforehand. Objectives can vary

from "capture the Golden Acorn" (Q "drag eightpoints of meat off the board" or "kill everything."

this book. oddly enough, in the chapter entitledScenarios.

A fairy with multiple OrderCards can still only act onceper round. but additional OrderCards give her more options as towhen shc may take her tum.

ThinkingWhilc i(s not Ihe easiest Ihing for a Fairy to do. fairiesare capable of some forcthought. Any fairy withenough Twinkle in her head can engage in this mostunfairylike behavior. A fairy mayspend Twinkle Points at thebeginning of the round to getextra Order Cards. Each Twinklegives her one additional OrderCard.

Fairies fly about on their little wingsfrom lhe moment they pop oul of lheir pods.It's how they've always moved around. and as aresult they fly much faster than they can walk upontheir lithe. weak legs.

Flying Fairies"Flying is probably the coolestthing in the world. next 10 shav­mg:"

-Pterry.Pee-Wee \ Playhollse

Moving the FiguresSome games use "spaces" for dctermining how far apiece can movc: Fairy Meat uses inches. To move apiece. simply choose where you want it to go. and mea­sure the distance from the piece to that point with aruler or mea<;uring tape.

although the rate of movement has some affecton how well the fairy can fight that tum. This is why

the player must declare the fairy's speed at the begin­ning of the figure's action.

AltitudeA fairy may change facing at any point during move·menl, as many times as she likes. Before and aftermovement, the fairy is considered to have landed, andduring movement is considered to be airborne, at analtitude up to the maximum heights listed above. Evenif she's flying along the ground (at an altitude of 0), sheis still considered to be flying; fairies don't walk, yousee. If you had wings, you wouldn't walk, either.

Vertical movement (up and down) does not count asdistance traversed, so a fairy who frolics 6" across theboard may travel over rocks and under twigs, up anddown, as long as she doesn't exceed her maximum alti­tude (6" for a frolicking fairy) in doing so.

A fairy can fall any height without injuring herself.She merely floats down to safety with her lightweightframe and magical wings.

Fairies can't stop in mid-air: in a typical flight they flyupward and drift downward a number of times usingtheir delicate wings. Hovering would take its loll oneven the most durable pair of fairy-wings after a fewseconds of effort!

Dragging LootAs dull as physical labor may be, a fairy might occa­sionally need to drag something from point A to pointB once in a while. After a successful kill, fairies areoften obligated to drag some meat back home to theirhungry friends or just somewhere they can eat inpeace, or perhaps a scenario requires the retrieval ofsome (relatively) large and heavy object. For simplic­ity's sake. we say that such burdens decrease move­ment altitude and distance by half. This includes move­ment resulting from Twinkle spells!

Obviously, carrying a one-point piece of fairy meat isn'tgoing to be that heavy, so we also say that draggingany amount of meat which is less than half of the act­ing fairy's Fairy Points plus Meat Points (round up) isnot considered a burden at all, and won't slow anyonedown.

Example: if Merryzm (with 6 Fairv Points)wished to carry the grisly remains of Pixypulf (ojwhich only 2 Meat Points remain) to her friends. shewould not be hindered at all, as 2 is less than halfof6.Math isfun..

RushingRushing an enemy fairy is a good way to knock her tothe ground, a perfect position for some rowdywrasslin'! For one fairy to rush another, the actingplayer must first announce the target of her rush (asusual, pre-measuring is a no-no!). Treat a rush as aflutter, going in a straight line, with no obstacles in­between; rushes are not like normal flutters in thatthey are a direct, linear flight at high speed. Thus. thetarget of the rush must be within direct line-of-sight ofthe rushing fairy.

A fairy can't rush another fairy who is alreadywrestling; she can, however, simply flutter right up andjoin in.

For the rush to be successful, the target figure must beat a rush distance of 6" or more. Before this poinl, therampaging fairy doesn't have enough inertia, and justkind of lightly 'bumps' into her target, which sadlyresults in no wrestling at all.

If the rush is successful, the attacker pushes the targetalong the rush path a bonus distance equal to the attack­ing fairy's Kill Points. If the fairies bump into anyobstacles or other fairies, the bonus movement stops.

At the end of this push, the attacking player draws anumber of cards from the Fairy Deck equal to herfairy's Kill, and the defending player draws a numberof cards equal to her Live. Weapon modifiers(described below) are not used here. If the defendingfairy gets a lower result than the attacking fairy, thetwo of them are now on the ground, wrestling, and atum of Wrestling immediately commences. Wrestlingis described in greater detail in the aptly·namedWrestling section on page 15.

Jokers!If either player plays a Joker wben drawing for theresult of a rush, the fairies still wind up on the ground,but the target fairy saw it coming, and so she gets theRush Bonus instead of the attacking fairy. Rushbonuses are described later. in the Combat section.

Nasty HilsIf the attacker's card (including support trumps) ishigher than that of me defender by an amount greaterthan four. it's considered a Nasty Hit. and result.s intwo points of damage. rather than one. If the attackerbealS the defender by more than eight. the hit results inthree points of damage. These are hilS that nOt onlybreak the assaulted fairy's defense. but result in a nastyinjury to boot. Ouch!

The One Card RuleIf a fairy is attacked. and she hasn't yet taken her turnthis round (she still had an Order Card at the time ofanack). she always gets olle extra card to defend with.She receives this card even if she has no Live Points. orif a weapon has reduced her number of defense cards 10zero.

draws a number of cards from the Fairy Deckequal to her fairy's available Kill (the Kill Points inthe Fairy or active section of the Fairy Carel. i.e.. onecard for each Kill Point lOT in the Meat section). Thedefending player draws just like the attacker. exceptshe uses her fairy's Live Points mther than Kill Points:if the attacker gets a higher result. the target takes onepoint of damage: otherwise. the target is unharmed. Asyou'll see below we toss many additional modifierssuch as weapon, terrain and movement modifiers intothis process. These modifiers make combat more fun.We know they do. because if they didn't fairies would­n't use them.

Note: A fairy with only one card to defend with lIIust

use that card to defend, even if it's that horrid little Aceof Spades card (described below).

Multiple AttacksSome weapons grant a fairy more than one au.ack.These auacks all come from the same hand of cards:the attacker doesn't draw her Kill again rorcach attack.Likewise. the defender must use the same hand ofcards to defend against all anacks. A rairy who is capa­ble or attacking more than one target in a tum may doso: so a bow which ha<; two attacks can fire at two dif­ferent fairies in a single turn, or a sword with twoattach may be used to attack two different fairies.Simply divide the number or cards in the attacker'shand into two different hands. however lhe attackerwishes.

A fairy must have at least one Kill Point to attack. evenif a weapon lets her draw extra cards. The only way fora fairy without Kill PoinL<; 10 attack is to [rellzy,described below.

Note that a fairy may pounce stmight up out ofwrestling and land back atop her opponent again, andstill receive a bonus. She still has to successfullyescape the brawl to do so. however (see wrestlingon page 14).

Firs!. the fairy nominates her target. A fairy may attackanyone within her weapon's Range. Hand weapons(swords. knives. fingernails and the like) require basc­to-base contact. Ranged weapons. such as bows. havemuch longer mnges. a few of them having no limits atall!

To Kill a FairyAfter the studious fairy is done learning how 10 pranceabout. it's time for her to whip out some sharp pointythings and get herself some breakfast!

AttackingA fairy may make an attack before or after her move­ment. If your fairy should like to attack d/lring move­ment. try to talk her out of it: if that doesn't work, takeher weapon away until she apologizes for disobeying !berules.

PouncingA fairy who Pounces and lands atop another fairy mayalso try to knock her foe to the ground and beginwrestling. A fairy who gels pounced-on can only drawone card (instead of ber Live as in a normal rush). ortwo if the a...sauhed fairy hasn't moved yet this round.Dof!

Line 0' SightAn attacking fairy also requires visual comact [Q hither larget. The target must be within the anacker'sLine of Sight. To detennine whether or not a fairy cansee a dislant target, draw an imaginary line from herhead to the target. If you can't get in a position 10dearly determine this by eyesight, tty using a shoelace,bird intestine, or laser pointer.

The Combat ProcessThe basic process is as follows. The attacking player

If a Joker is used in a rangedattack, either the weaponmisses or the weapon hits anyother figure in the anacker's

line of sight, selected by thedefending player.

Jokers!If either player uses a Joker in hand-lo-hand combat,either the attacker takes a poim of damage, or thedefender heals one point of meat. It's up to the player

who used the Joker.

Summary of Combat.The attacker draws as many cards from the Fairydeck as she has Kill Points and the defender

mushroom-stem which covers at least 50% of thefairy. (Use your best judgment here; if you don't haveany judgment whatsoever, flip a coin. If you don'thave a coin, go to a street corner and beg like a filthyurchin!)(Note- the author is just bitter 'cause he~· broke fromsupporting numerous unsavory vices. -Dave)(They're not that unsavory, really. -Scott)

Outside InterferenceShould an outside fairy decide to attack a fairy who isin the wreslling pile, she may do so. The wrestlingfairy is less able to avoid getting hit in such an attack,being otherwise engaged at the moment, and so losesone card from her defense hand. But, if a targetinvolved in wrestling successfully defends herselfagainst one or more close-combat attacks from anuninvolved fairy, she can grab the attacking fairy andpull her into the mess! The fairy is then tangled up inthe wrestling herself.

Mad about Meat· FrenzyNormally, an acting fairy may only make an attack ifshe has Kill Points left. If she has only Live Points left,then after moving, she may (reluctantly) give in 10 herdark side and be overtaken by a meat-frenzy. This con­verts all her Live Points into Kill Points! However,the frenzy is not reversible: a fairy can'l turn KillPoints into Live Points.

Wrestling BonusesThe attacker in Wrestling (the fairy who's turn it is)always gets an extra card. Also, when a fairy chargesinto another, the force of the impact entitles her to oneextra attack card during the ensuing wrestling that turn,should she choose to attack her new friend.

Casting SpellsA fairy may cast a spell at the beginning or end of her

turn. Unless otherwise stated in the spell's descrip­tion, a fairy cannot cast spells when engaged inwrestling. A fairy who is caught in a wrestling pit isconsidered to be perpetually fighting, and simply does­n't have the time for spells!

When a fairy casts a spell, the player moves a numberof Twinkle Points equal to the spell's cost from theFairy half of the card to the Meat half. A fairy canregenerate these in subsequent turns by spendingtrumps. If a fairy doesn'r have enough points to cast aspell, she simply can't cast thespell.

A fairy can cast as mayspells per turn as shewants, as long as she hasenough Twinkle 10 use forthem all. She cannot,however, cast the samespell twice in one turn.

Fairies cannot share Twinkle '~~t"-...:::;:~Points with other fairies, even ifthey really like each other.

TargetsA spell may target either the castingfairy, or any fairy to which astraight, unobstructed line can bedrawn from the caster. Thecaster needn't be facing hertarget, though. Partial Coverdoes not block spells.

ZappingBy using her own Twinkle to blow away anotherfairy's Twinkle. a fairy can Zap another into losingmagic. This pisses fairies oCf, and has tactical value aswell!

To Zap a fairy's Twinkle, the acting player must spendtrumps in the same way used to regain Twinkle. Forevery two trumps spent, you can Zap one point of theenemy's Twinkle. The Zapped Twinkle Point falls

from the Fairy half of the card to the Meat half. Even

if a fairy has no Twinkle Points left, she can stilluse any trumps she gets to Zap another fairy. TheZapping takes place after the concerned fairies havedeclared how many trumps they will use to regainTwinkle.

Any fairy can Zap any other; line of sight is not nec­essary.

Who Casts WhatThere are two different styles of Twinkle magic: Sweetand Mean. Each fairy may have only one style, reflect­ing the mood her magic-gland is usually in. A fairymay cast any spells within her style of Twinkle, but shemay not cast any spells belonging to a different style.

Fairies pick their styles of Twinkling,in the same way they pick theirweapons, at the beginning of the

game. The Spell Lists are foundby the Fairy and Weapon Lists

later in this book; see section 4 formore details on selecting your

fairy's style.

Jokers!player casts a spell that

requires the drawing of5t;\l);;;;:, cards by either fairy,

the opportunity existsfor a Joker to come up.

When a Joker is drawnbecause of a spell. the spell is cancelled,and the target fairy acts as if it just cast

the spell (draw the cards again).

TreacheryIt's not unusual for one fairy to violently end herfriendship with another. Times can be tough, and sur­vival is usually at the top of a fairy's priority list.

Also. thralls don't Rush enemies unless [hey have hornsor antlers. Whcn a fairy emhralls anything like that.we'll let you know: for now, though. no rushing thralls.

No. silly! A fairy can't Wrestle with a thrall. That sortof thing just isn't natural.

Thrall MovementThralls move just like fairies, but most lack the ability 10

fly. Each animal has a Climbing, Crawling, orBounding skill: the thrall may only use one of thesemethods to move cach turn.

When Animals AnackThe animal may issue one attack to each fairy it is incontact with. These all come from the same hand ofcards, just like a fairy with multiple attacks Dependingon the miniature·s pose. the flayers should agree onwhere its head and elaws aret , as those are the placesthat result in auack. Frightening as a squirrel's tail m::lYbe. ::III may rest assured that no one's going to get eatenby it. Usually.

Resolve auacks from thralls just like nomlal Fairyattacks. Thmlls may have no weapons other than teethand nails. unless otherwise stated in the Thrall Lists.

Climbing is just like walking along the ground, except itcan be measured up the sides of obstacles as well. Athmll only needs to climb if the obstacle is taller than theanimal itself (don't include long cars or tails as height).

As to what a Thrall can and cannOl climb on. we canonly ask Ihat players use their own judgment. They canclimb over a firm cake. for example. but probably not abig pile of gelatin and whipped cream.

Fairy ThrallsDuring the old days, when fairies began hunting animalsfor food. one of the most beneficial spells was that ofanimal cnchiUlIment. If the prey was smull enough. andits mind simpk enough. a fairy could possess it andguide il through mental projection. lcading it unsuspect­ingly into an ambush. where it was u"ually eaten alive.If the possessing fairy hadn't pulled out of the animal·smind by then. it usually proved to be a tr..lumatic experi­ence for both the creature and herself...

Each Fairy-Thrall "belongs" 10 one Fairy. This animal­possessing fairy may not cast spells or fight, as her mindis too occupicd with the information coming from theanimal's lillie brain. Should she die, the animal is"Liberated" as described below, A Thrall-Fairy canrelease control of her pet at the beginning of her turn. ifshe likes, She may then fighl and Twinkle as usual.

Bloody Vermin!Players purchase Fairy-thralls before the battle, just likefairil,;s. They fight like fairies, too: each has its ownThrall CUITI. with a number of Live and Kill PuinL".There are just a few differences:

This particular gun is a Crystal Pistol, thesmallest of Gnome pieces. It has a Range of 24", aStrength of 3. and a Defense Modifier of -I. Cool!

7,8,9,10~ Doh! It's some kind of buzzing, toothedmotor-sword. It growls like a mommy raccoon. andeats through anything. It has two attacks, an AttackModifier of 3, and a Defense Modifier of -2.

Trumps or Joker- Booby-trap! When the lidcomes off, a bomb inside expl(x1es. Each fairy with­in 3" of the box must remove two fairy~points fromtheir card. What a lousy present.

The Fairies- Each player has a Fairy Force of 90points.

The Battle- The game ends after all of one player'sfairies have crossed the finish line, or when only oneplayer's fairies remain on the field. The player that hasthe most points at the game's finish is the winner.Points are awarded at the end of the game, as follows:

Why, there:-" got to be great big gobs of lusciousflesh ripe for the chewing over there! If you and

your mates cOl/ldjust stake a claim before it's toolate...

Each Fairy a player kills: 1Each Fairy that crossed the finish line: 4

Playing Area- The playing area can be any size.

Playing Area- The playing area should be 2' x 10'.There should be plenty of high obstacles along theway, to make things more interesting.

Setting Up- Place nine gift-box counters in the centerof the playing area, in a three box by three box squaregrid four inches away from each other, as shown.These are Un-Birthday Presents, left by the Gnomes forthe fairy-folk to enjoy. The players set up on the board

during Turn Zero. No fairy may slart wilhin twelveinches of a Present or an enemy fairy.

The Fairies- Each player has a Fairy Force of 50points, and may have no more than three fairies.

Are the Gnomes just friendly guys? Are they usingfairies 10 test their terrible weapons? Is it a IIap? Whocares? It's your Un-Birthday!

This is a high-stakes race to the scene of the crime.The winner will find enough meat to rule the block,and the loser will find lots of well-fed enemies withsmiles on their faces!

Setting Up- One of the short sides of the board isconsidered the staning line, and the opposite side is thefinish line. All fairies start out along the Starting Line.,
