Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Brickfable, and how is it different from regular tabletop games?
Brickfable is a unique family gaming system that combines storytelling with construction toys to create interactive adventures.
Unlike traditional tabletop games, Brickfable offers two distinct ways to play: "Tale Time" for bedtime storytelling without physical components, and "Brick Time" for hands-on adventures using construction toys.
The system is specifically designed for busy parents who want to create meaningful family moments, even when time and energy are limited.
Do I need special or expensive construction toys to play Brickfable?
No! Brickfable is designed to work with any construction toys you already own. While the system is compatible with premium building sets, it works equally well with basic bricks from any manufacturer.
The focus is on creativity and storytelling, not specific brands or expensive components. You can start with just a handful of basic bricks, some minifigures, and standard dice.
My children are different ages (5-12 years). Can they all play together?
Absolutely! One of Brickfable's core strengths is its ability to engage multiple children of different ages simultaneously. The system includes built-in mechanics that allow younger players to participate meaningfully while giving older children more complex challenges.
Whether you have a thoughtful 7-year-old analyzer, an energetic 5-year-old actor, or a leading 12-year-old strategist, Brickfable adapts to each child's play style and abilities.
I'm exhausted after work - how can I possibly run a game?
I designed Brickfable specifically for tired parents (the same as me)!
The system includes "Tale Time" mode for low-energy evenings, requiring only your imagination and voice. For more energetic days, "Brick Time" adventures can be as simple or elaborate as you like. The book provides clear frameworks, ready-to-use adventures, and simple rules that make running games easy, even when you're tired.
You can even transition between modes based on your energy level.
How long does a typical Brickfable session take?
Brickfable is highly flexible with time. Interactive Tale Time sessions can be as short as 15-20 minutes - perfect for bedtime stories.
Brick Time adventures typically run 30-45 minutes but can be adjusted based on your schedule. The system includes natural break points (like "camping" in-game) that let you pause and resume adventures easily.
Whether you have 15 minutes or two hours, there's a Brickfable format that fits your schedule.
I'm not creative and know nothing about roleplaying games. Can I still run this?
Yes!
Brickfable Guide includes comprehensive guides, pre-made adventures, and step-by-step instructions for parents new to gaming. The book provides clear frameworks for creating stories, managing game sessions, and engaging children.
You don't need to invent everything from scratch - we provide plenty of ready-to-use content that you can customize based on your family's interests.
What skills will my children develop through Brickfable?
While having fun, children naturally develop numerous skills through Brickfable:
1. Problem-solving and critical thinking through adventure challenges
2. Social skills and empathy through collaborative storytelling
3. Creativity and spatial awareness through construction
4. Basic math through game mechanics
5. Reading and vocabulary through character development
6. Emotional intelligence through role-playing
7. The system naturally encourages learning without feeling educational.
How does Brickfable handle conflict and competition between siblings?
Brickfable is designed as a cooperative system where players work together rather than compete. The game mechanics encourage collaboration, with each player's character having unique abilities that complement others. When conflicts arise, the system includes built-in tools for fair turn-taking, shared decision-making, and ensuring every child gets moments to shine.
The focus is on team success rather than individual achievement.
Can I use Brickfable for different settings like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter?
Absolutely! While Brickfable includes a classic fantasy setting to get you started, the system is completely setting-agnostic. You can easily adapt it to any world or story your family loves:
- Run space adventures in a galaxy far, far away
- Create magical school mysteries
- Build Middle-earth quests
- Design superhero missions
- Craft your own unique worlds
The core mechanics work seamlessly with any setting, and we provide guidelines for adapting the system to different genres.
You can even mix settings or switch between them based on your children's current interests.

Like many parents, I found myself facing the evening challenge: three wonderful but very different children, all needing attention when my energy was lowest. Combining my childhood love of construction toys with storytelling turned our chaotic evenings into family adventures - and now I'm sharing this solution with other busy parents.
