Description Of Clout Fantasy

Clout Fantasy Game

Goblins, dragons and elves will be there with you on the board when you play a game of Clout Fantasy. During game play players win points known as clout points and the one with the most clout points is the winner.

Clout Fantasy is based on fantasy themes. Bizarre creatures like trolls, witches and warlocks form an intrinsic part of the layout of Clout Fantasy. Several sets of Clout Fantasy are available on the market. This makes the game a highly sought after collectible. Each time the game is played, mixing up the sets can bring about a change in the feel of the game.

Clout Fantasy features manual dexterity instead of mental dexterity.

Clout Fantasy is played with poker style chips. Players make up stacks of 15 chips each. Each stack represents a fantasy army. The chips are tossed by the players onto the playing field. Adopting a feature of card games, each chip represents a fantasy creature that is described by stats. The stats of each creature affect other chips on the field.

Each chip has a name that is prominently displayed across the chip. The lower half of the chip contains the chip’s abilities. Others stats like defense, range, expansion and rarity symbols and the like are also listed on the chip in a prominent manner.

The chips used in Clout Fantasy are of four basic types – bases, troops, actions and relics. The ‘armies’ in Clout Fantasy have seven different factions.

The points represented by the Clout Fantasy medallions are known as Personal Clout. Bigger events bring in a higher level of Personal Clout.

Review of Clout Fantasy


Clout Fantasy is a game that involves both physical agility as well as mental skills. Clout Fantasy is a refreshing change from the run-of-the-mill card games. The possibility of participating in tournament and winning medallions fires up players’ enthusiasm. The chips used in the game play of Clout Fantasy have very interesting features.

A particular ability christened ‘taunt ability’ forces attacking chips to attack chips with ‘taunt ability’ first- taunting them actually! Proximity to other chips gets extra points. Some abilities enable the chips to poison, weaken, strengthen and protect other chips. All these features make a game of Clout Fantasy highly interesting.

The presence of unique chips makes Clout Fantasy chips a sought after collectors’ item.
