Awful Fantasy: The Card Game is a competitive card game for 2–6 aspiring authors vying for the coveted goal of a finished story.

The game consists of two decks of cards, the awful deck and the fantasy deck, and a set of author cards. In the game, each player takes on the role of an author and competes to be the first to play all three required fantasy cards for a finished story—a Protagonist card, an Antagonist card, and a Plot card.

To obtain the required fantasy cards to finish their story and win the game, players draw cards from the awful deck. These awful cards may allow you to draw from the fantasy deck, take a card from the discard pile, plagiarize by stealing fantasy cards from opponents, or even destroy an opponent's hard-earned story elements by killing off their Protagonist, poking holes in their Plot, or by de-antagonizing their Antagonist.
