    Drawing tips for fantasy, myths & fairy tales

    Creatures are a familiar animal plus one impossible feature: a horse with a horn, a lizard with wings and fire, a fish with a woman’s torso. Fairy-tale scenes are their famous moment (a glass slipper on a step, a long braid from a tower). Magic is sparkles and a wand.

    Who this category suits

    It is a favourite with children, who know every fairy tale, and with the fantasy-reading adults who know every monster. There are 84 easy words, 110 medium and 102 hard, so it works as a whole-game theme rather than a single round: set the difficulty from the menu above and the pool moves with the table. Every word in the category is safe for every audience. A round idea: Storybook round: the guessing team must also name which story the word comes from, for a bonus point.

    The full fantasy, myths & fairy tales list

    All 296 words, grouped by difficulty. The letter after each word is its classic card category (P, O, A or D); hover to see the name.
