Fairy is a board game released in 2024 for 2–10 players, 5–10 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by ましう (Mashiu) and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck, Simultaneous Action Selection, and Betting and Bluffing.
Every round, reveal a new card. Simultaneously, all players choose a hand gesture to guess how the card relates to the previous one (☝️ for higher value, ? for lower value, ? for same suit, or ✊ to guess a fairy). Guess the correct value relation and get two points. Guess same suit correctly and get four points. Call one of the three fairies in the deck? That's seven points! Any wrong guess loses you a point. First player to fifteen wins! -description from publisher
Fairy supports 2–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Fairy is 5–10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fairy for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Fairy has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The credited designers of Fairy are: ましう (Mashiu). These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
