Ales & Tales
A mug slamming down on wood, dice rolling, and the whole tavern holds its breath. Ales & Tales draws you into a warm fantasy adventure where quests are told between sips and every roll can change the game.
On PlayOne, this Air Dice creation turns the vibe of a heroic inn into a clever, fast-paced challenge. You’re not just filling up a simple grid: you move forward turn by turn in a 12-move session, as if every choice adds a new chapter to your story. The setting feels like frothy ale, old wood, and wandering legends, with that little epic spark that makes you want to stay for one more tale.
A fantasy tavern where dice write the story
The gameplay is easy to pick up but gets more intense as you go. Each round, you place a column of three dice into a grid with four slots. The goal is to line up three matching symbols, horizontally or diagonally, to rack up points.
The rarer the symbols, the higher their value climbs. To make it into the winning rounds, you need at least 100 points. This gives the game a clear pace: you build your board roll by roll, watch combinations take shape, then aim for your best score before all 12 moves are up.
When several slots become winners at once, multipliers come into play to boost your result. Depending on your setup, your total can be multiplied by 1.5x or even 2x. Other rewards kick in for certain specific combos, like if you fill a slot with nine identical symbols. These kinds of goals give the game that well-designed side quest feeling and real building satisfaction.
Features that keep things exciting
Ales & Tales doesn’t stop at its core gameplay. Several paid options give you more chances to trigger special sequences, adding an extra layer of strategy for those who like to explore every angle of a game.
Some of the most anticipated moments include:
- A special wheel with multiple spin attempts
- SCATTER symbols that launch mini-games
- Rewards that can take the form of multipliers
- Mystery Games that add a fun element of surprise
All this creates lively progression, almost like leveling up in a tavern quest. You go from calm rolls to explosive phases without ever losing track of the experience.
And the adventure doesn’t end there. The FateQuest saga continues with Ales & Scales, announced as another big chapter in this festive and heroic world. Two special games are featured: one can hold up to 30 Mystery Games, while the other offers an epic climb up to 1250x your stake. It’s all about keeping the legend alive with stories, dice, and perfectly crafted challenges.
