Fellowship of Fools: The (Friendship) Game (FoF) is a game for self-development and developing relationships with other players through Situation and Topic prompts based on the Tarot. This version of FoF focuses on helping players discover their friendship compatibility with other players and develop those friendships through conversation.

Fellowship of Fools: The (Friendship) Game is also available for free as a Print-to-Play edition on our website: Products – Fellowship of Fools: The Game

Forging new connections and developing strong relationships (friendships in this deck, romantic relationships and sexual relationship with our other decks) takes time, communication, vulnerability and honesty. For many, this can feel difficult or even impossible.

FoF is a game that gives players an opportunity to get to know people and themselves through conversation and situational gameplay. It is also a game about saying, yes, no and maybe.

We are all Fools on our journeys through this world. It’s dangerous to go alone.

The Tarot card deck has been in use since the 14th century for games and since the 17th century for divination. The art for Fellowship of Fools dates back to 1761 to its creation in France by Nicolas Conver de Marseilles and is called the Tarot de Marseilles. Today, Tarot cards are widely used for game playing, creativity, divination and personal development. Our hope is that FoF can turn that inward reflection of the Tarot outward to help players develop relationships with other players.

We’ve split the Tarot deck into its two parts--the Major Arcana for Situations and the Minor Arcana for Topics. On each card are two different prompts--corresponding to the upright and the reversed meaning of the card. Numbers next to the prompts indicate their difficulty, possible points that can be gained or lost for playing that prompt, as well as the number of Topic Prompts that can be played for that Situation Prompt.
