Description
A treasure chest, a dinosaur skeleton, a circus tent, a crown … The nine cubes of Rory's Story Cubes: Voyages show pictures that call out for adventure. Each cube has six pictures, 54 in all: from a treasure map and a spyglass to a bandit and poison. Roll them and set off on a journey full of treasures, dangers and strange places.
How to play Rory's Story Cubes: Voyages
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. There is only one rule: there are no wrong answers.
The rules suggest two more ways to play. In My Hero, you create a hero with three cubes, then tell their story with all nine. In Epic Stories, each player adds a chapter, and the last player brings the story to its conclusion.
Why you'll love it
- The pictures are made for adventures: maps, treasures, palaces, snakes and bandits.
- There are no wrong answers – everyone reads the same picture their own way, so every story is different.
- In Epic Stories you all build one story together and wait eagerly to see where the next player will take the hero.
- You can play the cubes on their own or mix them with other sets, just as the rules suggest.

The game is very easy, and there is no text on the cubes, only pictures, so language is no barrier. The Slovenian edition comes with Slovenian rules.
What you might not like
The game has no points and no winner, so it may not suit those who prefer competition. Some pictures are more unusual, such as a bacterium or a Lilliputian, so a few need a closer look at first.
