Personal Preparation

A. Take a Perfume Bottle and put 5 Yellow Stones, 3 Green Stones, and 2 Charcoal Stones (total of 10) from the Fairy Market board into the Bottle.

B. Take 1 Fairy Companion dashboard and 8 Cubes of the matching color. We recommend using the dashboard's non-Variant side (without the Variant icon) for players' first game.

C. Place the 8 Cubes on the Fairy Companion dashboard's Bottle Value track from slots 5 to 12.

D. Take 1 Player Aid card, 3 Coins, and 2 Fairy Power.

How to Play

Fairy Perfume is played over a series of rounds where players compete to earn the most Victory Points (VP). Each round comprises of 4 phases, following this order:

Phase 1: Shake Stones Out

Players simultaneously shake Stones out from their Bottle to gain rewards known as Resources (Coins and Fairy Power). They gain rewards by storing Stones up to the current limit of the Bottle Value track on their dashboard.

Players may choose to stop shaking Stones out of their Bottle and place it down at any time. If they are the first to do so - and have not Exploded (see below) - they must immediately grab the Hourglass and flip it to start the timer, keeping it near them. The other players have until the Hourglass runs out to stop shaking Stones out of their Bottle and set it down.

Exploded

If a player shakes out more Stones than their current Bottle Value track, they have Exploded. When a player has Exploded, they must stop shaking Stones out of their Bottle immediately. They gain 2 Charcoal Stones, placing them on the side of their dashboard and must wait until every other player has stopped or Exploded. If a player has fully emptied their Bottle and Exploded, they instead gain 4 Charcoal Stones. Players that Exploded cannot take the Hourglass, unless every other player also Exploded, in which case, the player who Exploded last takes the Hourglass.

About Charcoal Stones

• Stored Charcoal Stones give no rewards.
• Furthermore, during End Game scoring, each Charcoal Stone is -2 VP.

Once every player has stopped or Exploded, proceed to the next Phase.

Phase 2: Store Stones and Gain Rewards

Players must simultaneously store the Stones they have shaken out of their Bottles onto their dashboard, up to the limit of their current Bottle Value track. If a player has shaken out more Stones than their current limit, they choose which Stones to store in each available slot and place the rest to the side of their dashboard.

After players have stored their Stones, they must gain their rewards. Players can check the Fairy Market board to gain each Stone's reward (See FRAGRANCE STONE EFFECTS). Note that players could gain more rewards through special abilities.

Stones placed to the side of the dashboard do not grant any rewards.

The player with the Hourglass chooses 1 of their stored Stones and doubles its rewards. This effect does not trigger abilities which would require a combination of multiple Stones.

Once every player has gained their rewards from their stored Stones, proceed to the next phase.

Phase 3: Perform Actions

During this phase, players take turns performing actions to enhance their Bottle.

Starting with the player holding the Hourglass, and proceeding clockwise, each player performs 1 action during their turn. Repeat this until every player has performed 2 actions.

There are 5 possible actions:

• Buy a Stone: To Buy a Stone, a player must choose 1 Stone from the Fairy Market board, pay its market cost, and place it on the side of their dashboard, not stored. This will allow them to add more Stones to their Bottle for better rewards in later rounds.
• Gain an Ability: To Gain an Ability, a player must choose 1 Ability on the Fairy Market board, pay its market cost (either in Coins or Fairy Power), and place their leftmost Cube from their Bottle Value track on the chosen ability. Each player may only have up to 1 Cube on each ability. Abilities give players benefits throughout the game. For example, they can boost Stone rewards or make actions more powerful (See FAIRY MARKET BOARD - ABILITY LIST).
• Gain a Goal: To Gain a Goal, a player must choose 1 of the Goal cards on the Fairy Market board, pay its cost, and place their leftmost Cube from their Bottle Value track on the chosen Goal. Each player may only have up to 1 Cube on each Goal, unless an ability indicates otherwise. Goals are the primary way to gain Victory Points at the end of the game.
• Dust Stones: When players Dust Stones, they choose up to 2 Stones not in their Bottle, either stored or on the side of their dashboard, and place it back into the appropriate pool. This allows players to curate their Stones and get rid of Charcoal Stones, which give them -2 VP during End Game scoring.
• Get Fairy Help: When a player Gets Fairy Help, they gain 1 Coin and 1 Fairy Power.

After every player has performed 2 actions, proceed to the next Phase.

Phase 4: Check End Game

If any player has placed all 8 of their Cubes OR if there are no more Pink Stones available on the Fairy Market board, the game ends. (See END GAME SCORING)

If the game has not ended, players return all the Stones (including Charcoal Stones) stored or on the side of their dashboard back into their Bottle and start a new round.

End Game Scoring

Once the game has ended, players count their VP using the following rules:

• Gain VP from each Goal card they have a Cube on (see GOAL CARDS);
• Gain 6 VP for each Pink Stone they have;
• Gain 1 VP for every 5 Resources they have;
• Lose 2 VP for each Charcoal Stone they have.

The player with the highest VP wins the game and earns the title of Legendary Scentweaver! If there is a tie, the player with the most Resources wins. If still tied, the player with the most Cubes on the Fairy Market board wins. And if still tied, all tied players share the Victory.

Fragrance Stone Effects

Each Stone activates its effect when it is stored.

• Yellow Stones (Market cost: 1 Coin): When storing a Yellow Stone, gain 1 Coin.
• Green Stones (Market cost: 2 Coins): When storing a Green Stone, gain 1 Fairy Power.
• Red Stones (Market cost: 3 Coins): When storing a Red Stone, every other player adds 1 Charcoal Stone from the pool to the side of their dashboard.
• White Stones (Market cost: 4 Coins): When storing a White Stone, gain 2 Fairy Power.
• Blue Stones (Market cost: 5 Coins): When storing a Blue Stone, gain 3 Coins.
• Pink Stones (Market cost: 7 Coins): At the end of the game, gain 6 VP for each Pink Stone you have.

Variant

Once players are familiar with the game, they can try the Variant side of the Companion Fairy dashboards which offers a distinct gaming experience each time.

Each Companion Fairy provides a unique Fairy Trait and game setup for each player with varying numbers of Coins, Fairy Power, and Stones in their Bottle.

• Royal Fairy: Coins: 3, Fairy Power: 2, Yellow Stones: 5, Green Stones: 3, Charcoal Stones: 2. Fairy Trait: At any time, you may trade 3 Coins for 2 Fairy Power OR 2 Fairy Power for 3 Coins.
• Yellow Fairy: Coins: 3, Fairy Power: 2, Yellow Stones: 5, Green Stones: 3, Charcoal Stones: 4. Fairy Trait: During Setup, place 1 Cube in your Bottle. When you shake a Cube out from your Bottle, you may place it on an ability on the Fairy Market board that doesn't already have any of your Cubes. At the end of each round, return 1 of your Cubes from an ability on the Fairy Market board to your Bottle. Cubes don't count toward Exploding.
• Blue Fairy: Coins: 1, Fairy Power: 1, Yellow Stones: 7, Green Stones: 5, Charcoal Stones: 0. Fairy Trait: -4 VP at the end of the game.
• White Fairy: Coins: 0, Fairy Power: 0, Yellow Stones: 5, Green Stones: 3, Charcoal Stones: 4. Fairy Trait: During Setup, place 1 Cube on any Ability for free.
• Red Fairy: Coins: 6, Fairy Power: 4, Yellow Stones: 5, Green Stones: 3, Charcoal Stones: 4. Fairy Trait: No ability.

Clarifications

• Charcoal Stones received by players during Phase 2 go to the side of their dashboard. Charcoal Stones on the side of a player's dashboard return to the bottle during Phase 4.
• A player can acquire an Ability or Goal that someone else has also acquired.
• When the Red Stone effect triggers, there is no upper limit to the number of Charcoal Stones that are given to other players. Example: If a Player stored 3 Red Stones, every other player will receive 3 Charcoal Stones, 1 for each Red Stone that was stored.
• If a player needs to gain a Charcoal Stone and there's none left in the pool, they don't acquire it.
