Gameplay in Brief:
Playing Tales of the Arabian Nights is an experience I highly recommend. But go into realizing that this is, first and foremost, a story much more than it is a game. It is a great social game, but it should not be played competitively (even though there will be a winner). The fun is in letting the story unfold around you. And what a story it is! Players are each heroes and heroines in an adventure story, encountering evil viziers and imprisoned princesses while trying to fulfill their destiny. Virtually every game has exciting and unexpected twists.
