In Allegory, you immerse yourself in the world of literary creation as a renowned author crafting a trilogy of Tales: Nature, Energy, and Spirit. The game challenges 2-6 players to use Lore chips to bid on and collect cards, weaving powerful Themes into their Tales while aiming to embed a profound Moral.

Players must carefully choose Theme cards and strategize how to manage Lore chips, as only the Tale with the lowest value will score points. Winning a bid costs chips, which must be strategically distributed among remaining cards in the Inspiration Pool for other players to claim. The ultimate goal is to create a literary classic by mastering the art of subtlety and crafting concise, meaningful Tales.
