Description
A pyramid, a turtle, a question mark, a smile … Roll nine cubes and you have nine pictures that seem to have nothing in common at first glance. With Rory's Story Cubes: Classic you link them into a story that begins with “Once upon a time …”. Each cube has six pictures, 54 in all, so every roll is different and every story is new.
How to play Rory's Story Cubes: Classic
Players take turns as the storyteller. The storyteller rolls all nine cubes and begins with “Once upon a time …”. The story has to link all nine pictures: three cubes for the beginning, three for the middle and three for the end. You can start with the picture that grabs your attention first. There is only one rule: there are no wrong answers.
The rules suggest a few more ways to play. In My Hero, you first create a hero with three cubes, then tell their story with all nine. In Epic Stories, the first player starts the first chapter, each following player adds their own, and the last player ties up all the loose ends and brings the story to its conclusion.
Why you'll love it
- Every roll gives you nine new pictures, so every story is different.
