Description

Create your very own Sci-Fi story of Exploration, Imagination, and action - or just plain silliness.

You are a character in a Science Fiction novel, and the plot is in your hands! You will craft an improvised story from a hand of 5 cards, each representing a Person, Place, or Thing. The goal of a game is to tell a creative tale and interconnect narratives with your fellow players as much as possible, using "plot points" that you will earn.

At the end of the game, the player with the most plot points is the "Main Character" and gets to decide how the story ends. The player with the most connections to their story cards is the "author" and ahs the honor of choosing a name for the tale you've all told.

Combine this game with other genre editions for an even more unexpected storytelling experience, and to play with 5-6 players!

Contents:

  • 150 Story Cards (50 x 3 types)
  • 120 Plot Point wood tokens (30 x 4 colors)
