In this game based loosely on the world of Grimms' fairy tales, each player takes on the role of a Child, Damsel, Man or Beast on a quest to find the legendary Moonsword in order to defend a fantasy kingdom. Different character types have different strengths and weaknesses, and each player starts with a different Quest card explaining exactly what objects and locations must be found in order to obtain the Moonsword. Players then wander the board battling monsters, acquiring objects and drawing random event cards. The first person to meet the quest goals, obtain the Moonsword, and find their hidden magic gate is the winner.
