About the Game

In Tell a Tale, three to ten players use words from cards in their hand to make a story that correlates to the genre for each given round. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Using the Word cards in their hands, players need to think of a book title and synopsis that fits the Genre revealed. Each card has a word that fits its category. A player can use up to five cards from their hands to come up with the title, as well as any additional words from the Genre card. The player can change the words into adjectives, nouns or verbs as needed.

Players can also use any conjunctions, determiners, prepositions and/or pronouns they want (these don't score points at the end). Once each player has selected their cards and words for the book title, starting with the first player, everyone in order tells the title out loud and after that describes the synopsis for their book.
