In the game of Allegory, players take on the roles of renowned authors that are scribing Tales of Nature, Energy, and Spirit. Players try to earn points by bidding Lore chips, collecting cards into three different Tales, and creating sets of Themes. Also, players have a hidden goal, and they must manage their cards to make sure that their lowest value Tale has a high score because it is the only Tale that gets scored.
The game box comes with 63 Theme cards, 18 Moral cards, 90 Lore chips, 6 Rest markers, and a rulebook. Allegory supports two to six players, ages 8 and up, and plays in 30 to 50 minutes. It will retail for $25.00.
