FAIRY CIRCLE RING
INTRODUCTION
It is Spring Equinox in the Sylvan woods.
The little people, also referred to as Fairies, or Fey have gathered to celebrate.
After feasting, storytelling, gossiping, and singing they gather around the
Fairy circle ring to play a game they call the Dance of Eights.
The fairies dance in groups until they finally form a perfect circle of eight dancers.
The winners get laurel leaves and an extra helping of Pixie dust on their elderberries.
THE DECK
The deck contains 2 of each card described in the Card List.
All of the cards represent Fey Dancers.
