I liked “Fairy Tale“, though all the information displayed on the cards resulted in sensory overload my first few times out. Despite the learning curve, I began to appreciate it more and more over time…so much in fact that I sought out other games with a similar drafting mechanic. “Tides of Time”, while only supporting two players as opposed to Fairy Tale’s five, seemed interesting enough to pick up. I admit, the attractive $12 price tag (on Amazon as of 10/21/15) had something to do with it. Let’s see how it compares with “Fairy Tale”, shall we?
