Stories! (2013)

About this game

In Stories!, players take turns telling stories to one another, with the topics being determined by random card draw. Before a player tells a story, all of the other players list five terms that they expect to hear during the story; for each term mentioned, the player scores points. By asking questions during the telling of the story, they can try to steer the story in the direction they want – but each time you ask a question, you lose points. Ask the right questions and you'll win; ask too much too often, however, and you'll lose...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
