Fellowship of Fools: The (Friendship) Game (2018)

We are all Fools on our journeys through this world. It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this game with you. Fellowship of Fools: The (Friendship) Game (or FoF) is based on the Tarot, in use since the 14th century for games and since the 17th century for divination. The art for Fellowship of Fools dates back to 1761 to its creation in France by Nicolas Conver de Marseilles and is called the Tarot de Marseilles. Today, Tarot cards are widely used for game playing, creativity, divination and personal development. Our hope is that FoF can turn that inward reflection of the Tarot outward to help players develop friendships. We’ve split the Tarot deck into its two parts—-the Major Arcana for Situations and the Minor Arcana for Topics. On each card are two different prompts—-corresponding to the upright and the reversed meaning of the card. Numbers next to the prompts indicate their difficulty, possible points that can be gained or lost for playing that prompt, as well as the number of Topic Prompts that can be played for that Situation Prompt. There are multiple ways to play Fellowship of Fools: The (Friendship) Game: solo, with two players, or with multiple players. We encourage players to experiment with the cards and find their own ways to play.
