About the game
A fayre has come to town, and all are welcome to enter and partake of its games — but note that this is no ordinary fayre as it is run by elves and fairies. In A Midsummer Night's Fayre, you play ten mini games, choosing dice to try to achieve the individual victory conditions of those games. Use fairy mischief cards to change the dice...and the outcome of the game! —description from the publisher
