Become A Seasoned Stuffie As Plaid Hat Ramp Up The Difficulty On Stuffed Fables
March 25, 2018 by dracs
Plaid Hat Games' board game Stuffed Fables is a really fun, narrative experience suitable for all the family. However, some players have been hankering after something a bit more challenging. It's time to become Seasoned Stuffies.
Seasoned Stuffies is a series of variant rules that help to add an extra level of challenge to your games, including:
- Stuffing Shortage reduces the number of White Dice available in the bag, making it much harder to recover from attacks.
- Persistent Threat slides unused threat dice up the track, letting enemies activate again even sooner.
- Tough Bosses lets the big bads of Stuffed Fables start with 1 or 2 additional dark stuffing for an even greater challenge.
- Unlucky Stuffies have to deal with fewer purple dice available in the dice bag.
- Smart Minions will always choose to attack a Stuffy without a die stored on their card
I have been playing a fair bit of Stuffed Fables lately and I absolutely love it. It is a very accessible game and I love its narrative focus.
However, I definitely understand the desire to make it a bit more challenging at times, so I think it is great to see Plaid Hat catering to these desires.
Have you played Stuffed Fables? What are your thoughts on it?

i think the concept is brilliant but i haven’t bought in. i’m a bit concerned it will suffer from the same lack of variety in minions that mice and mystics does. increasing the difficulty will help but ultimately i think you can only expect so much given its family friendly tag. i would love to play it still mind.
I think there’s a larger variety than Mice and Mystics, but there’s still only going to be so much for a core game without a bunch of expansions. The game book provides quite a bit of variety in the scenario aspect, so there’s that. And it seems to be successful enough to warrant some expanding- I’d be surprised if they didn’t. It is starting to get weird to see games coming out without a ton of expansions already, but I guess that’s what we used to do before Kickstarter (I had to play Super Dungeon with only Kobolds and drakes… Read more »

I just played this with my daughters again last night. I had forgotten about the Seasoned Stuffies tweaks as they have been out for a while now. I’ll have to remember to incorporate them next time.
Also, if anyone doesn’t know, plaid hat has a free Lost Chapter and a colouring book available on their site. The colouring book is actually pretty cool it allows to customize the regular Stuffies and also create your own work their own powers.
