Notes

It's time to tell a story!

What will you create? Will it be funny? Meaningful? Compassionate? Frightening?

Will it be something that haunts your steps as you walk home - or keeps you chuckling for the next week?

That's what this game is all about: getting together with friends and creating a great story.

How To Play

Each player starts with a hat, five craft cards, and three bravo chips.

The first player randomly selects one of the 53 included storylines, and reads it out loud.

That's the start of your story. Now each player makes their own addition. Once everyone has added something, the first player gives a recitation of the story so far, and it's time for a new round.

Craft Cards

Those cards in your hand describe elements of the Storyteller Craft. Whenever anyone (including yourself) incorporates the element on one of your cards, that card goes in your hat. That's going to be a point at the end of the game. You get new Craft Cards at the end of each round.

Bravo Chips!

Whenever you want to say “Bravo&;” to someone, toss a Bravo chip into their hat. Each one is worth three points at the end of the game. You better toss all those Bravo Chips, by the way. Any you're still holding count against you at the end of the game.

Time for Awards

At the end of the game, you're also going to be handing out awards: most hilarious, most dramatic, most creative, most surprising. That's where the big points are.

Heckle Cards?

Sometimes, the story gets out of hand, and that's what the Heckle Cards are for. They're a nice friendly way of saying “Enough Already!”
