  ✨ WONDERS - PART 2. TREASURES THAT BREATHE

  A Wonder is not a mute card. It is a living ally with its own temper. Rescue Vasilisa the Wise, and every three days she offers up a freshly forged weapon-like a traveling blacksmith-and that blade might be the one that saves the whole team. Keep Ryaba the Hen close, and every second day a shiny golden egg rolls into your hands-a cheerful backup fund for your next trades. 🔨 They work while you rest These Wonders generate gear or gold on their own. The longer the journey, the greater the profit. 🥚 They spark courage Extra blades and golden coins whisper: “Go one more day.” That whisper often becomes the difference between retreat and triumph. 🛡️ Easy to lose A Trickster Fox might snatch Ryaba or even poor Kolobok if you’re not watching. And Zmey Gorynych loves kidnapping maidens. The Tsar’s decree warns: your treasures can be stolen, frozen, or blown away. 👑 Cornerstones of the next victory Bring a Wonder home and the Tsar rewards you. Push onward, and the same Wonder becomes the backbone of the next, more dangerous adventure-multiplying its worth.

  🃏 WHAT THE GAME IS ABOUT

  In Like a Fairytale, you play as a hero from Slavic folk tales. Every morning, the Tsar sends you on a quest - to retrieve a Wonder. Sometimes he doesn't even know what exactly he's looking for - and that’s when a true adventure begins. 🗺️ Adventure is a chain of random days Each journey lasts a random number of days - sometimes just a short outing, other times a nearly week-long trek. You never know in advance how long it will go. That’s where the thrill lies: keep going, and the risk grows — but so do the rewards. ⚔️ Each day is an event A monster to fight, a kind stranger, a trap, a merchant, or a mysterious find - every day brings something new. You must choose how to react: play your cards, spend your resources, adapt. The world keeps shifting - and you have to keep up. 👹 At the end - a unique boss Every adventure ends with a challenging and unique boss. Brute force won’t cut it - you’ll need to strategize, pick the right cards, and make the most of what you’ve got. Each boss has their own rules, tricks, and fighting style. 🎁 The reward is a Wonder Defeat the boss, and you’ll earn a Wonder - a rare, magical trophy that started it all. It might be an enchanted hen, a talking creature, or a mystical item. Some Wonders carry over to future adventures. And if you’re feeling brave - you can set out again immediately. ♻️ Replays stay fresh Each adventure is procedurally generated. New events, enemies, rewards, and even journey length - everything changes. That keeps every run exciting, unpredictable, and worth playing again.
