Chapter 1

ENFanji is a mysterious antique board game that one of our heroes has come into possession of. Though it will turn out to be much more than a normal everyday board game. As she and the rest of the players take on the perils within, they’ll quickly find themselves enduring unbeara...

Chapter 4

Sophie held up the box. Swooping wooden carvings decorated the top. Each corner was adorned with a small scene inside of a circle. One corner depicted a woman’s face looking very surprised. Another depicted a hand throwing a piece of cloth. The next had someone running through a...

Chapter 5

Mia was really weirded out by the magnet thing, and desperately wanted to ask Sophie more questions about her black market board game contact, but ultimately gave in. She took the dice, shook them, and rolled. “Ten, nice,” Mia said, adding up the six and the four she rolled. She...

Chapter 6

Not really understanding anything about the game yet, Mia picked one at random. Each one could really be anything, and she didn’t even know what a challenge entails yet. Mia reached out and plucked her desired card, the other two shooting back into the board with a quiet mechani...

Chapter 7

Mia read aloud, “Flash Forward. Bonus Card. With a quick flash, you dash ahead of the other players. Roll an extra die this turn.” “My turn!” Faith butted in. She plopped onto the ground, hip to hip with Mia. Faith palmed the dice, shook them for luck, blew on them, and rolled....

Chapter 8

Faith was currently at a deep, deep luckiness deficit, so there’s no way she’d pick “Ante Up!” “Spring Spray Soirée” sounded like some really fancy wildcard option that could be anything. But Faith needed the home field advantage, and currently she was deep in hopefully what wo...

Chapter 9

Faith pondered her ‘lose, lose’ options. She was already way behind on movement, so “Slow Your Roll” isn’t happening. “Double Trouble” also doesn’t sound good at all. “Loot Goblin” could be something where she gets her items stolen by a little robber guy, but she didn’t have anyt...

Chapter 10

Sophie assessed her options. She knew a little bit more about this game than the others, more than she was letting on. She still didn’t know how the mechanisms of the board knew that the limbo and piggyback challenges had ended, but the knowledge she did have absolutely factored...

Chapter 11

Sophie tried her best to cool her jets and considered her options carefully. “Say Cheese!” was gonna involve pictures, so that’s a no go. “Oops-a-Daisy” could involve her piece falling backwards on the board or something. “Descending Dilemma” sounded bad, but often these board ga...

Chapter 12

Mia didn’t like the idea of taking a picture for every roll in this silly board game, so she opted for the other one. She grabbed her chosen card and the other sucked back into the board with a **SCHWOOP**. Mia read her card aloud. “Oops-a-Daisy. Punishment. You will fumble even...

Chapter 13

“Oh_ Luuuuuucy_, we’re home!” said Faith, dramatically appearing in the doorway. “Don’t listen to her, I’m sure you hate that one,” said Sophie right after. Lucy looked up from her Switch, a confused expression on her face. “We just wanted to say sorry for Mia not telling you...

Chapter 14

Lucy read her event aloud, “Switcheroo! Event. Your place and more will shift with another, as your hidden layers make their way to each other.” Lucy gave out another “Ooooo…” as she was impressed again by the pieces moving about. Faith and Sophie Oooo’ed along with her, getting...

Chapter 15

“I’m using this,” Mia said, re-reading her card aloud, “Flash Forward. With a quick flash, you dash ahead of the other players. Roll an extra die this turn.” Mia smugly placed her card in the discard pile with a smirk. If she was gonna play against Lucy, she should at least do e...

Chapter 16

The air in the room turned eerily cold and quiet. No further doorbells rang as everyone stood still. “Should I just get it?” asked Lucy. No one answered, so Lucy took action. She walked to the door to open it. “Did you guys invite anyone else without asking me?” Mia asked, qui...

Chapter 17

Inside, most of the box was empty air. At the bottom sat a neatly folded white bath towel. Mia pulled it out, unfolding it and holding it up. “A towel? Huh?” asked Mia. “A Towel of Temporary Tenacity!” Lucy excitedly corrected. Mia just had raised eyebrows that said ‘_Really?_...

Chapter 18

Acronyms were a whole other can of worms. These punishments were already eluding them all with normal titles. Faith didn’t want more riddles to figure out, and Sophie’s tryhard brain might wrap her mind around what B.O.U.N.C.E. means first. Faith didn’t want to give that stupid b...

Chapter 19

Faith wasn’t much of a horse girl, and she didn’t want to learn what that “+” meant, so “Saddle Up!+” was off the table. “Off the Top Rope” was interesting. Faith loved pro wrestling and could see the challenge being some variation of ‘Wrestle the other players to the ground and...

Chapter 20

Faith flipped onto her back to catch her breath for a few seconds. She brushed her fiery mane out of her face and started fixing it. The redhead opened her eyes and saw… Everyone else looming over her! “Ahh!” Faith shrieked, not knowing that she was still the center of attention...

Chapter 21

“Ghostly Grasper is probably some ranged steal card against the other players,” Lucy hypothesized. Faith listened to the strategic advice of this gaming guru with enraptured attention. Lucy continued, “Burden Bestowal is probably another offensive ‘give a punishment away’ sort...

Chapter 22

The quartet racked their brains for ways to end the game. They tried forcing their pieces off the board with a little elbow grease and by crowbarring them off with a butterknife. Faith even brought out the big guns after she found a hammer in Mia and Lucy’s garage. It didn’t see...
