PLAYED FOR YOU

Stories on heroes

You play alone own or in teams of two and create a story for points in each of three rounds. Each player choses a character and takes all its evaluation, points and character markers. At the start all players decide together on a title for their stories - all have the same one - and then each team uses 12 double-sided image cards to place the story. Each story consists of six image card, so you choose six images out of 24 for your story. Members of a team decide together. When someone is finished, the others have 90 seconds to complete their story. When the timer has run out, all that are not done yet take one tardiness marker, shuffle their remaining cards and randomly fill the empty spaces on their story board. Then all in turn tell their story and indicate the respective image card. The order in which the cards are used must be from top left to bottom right and you must supply a minimum of one word or sound for each image in the story. Then all players place one of their evaluation markers next to one of the stories, also next to their own - for the most original, best worded or most sweeping story or the neutral marker - and each player or each team that has received the majority in one of those evaluation categories keeps those markers for one point each. Then markers are removed according to the rules and then each player who has a marker left on someone else‘s story scores 2 points for it.

Not a new idea, but an idea that is very nicely realized, especially as regards to the graphics - for each fan of comics the drawings are a hit and inspire one to the most varied stories, from thriller to romance.
