PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Story Cubes Voyages

A raven meets a crab ….

 

The attractive little box that can easily be taken along in your pocket holds nine dice. Each of those dice features six different and unique images, abstract or not, that can be interpreted or named in many ways. This gives you 54 images or terms to play with: You roll all nine dice, choose any for the starting die and tell a story. This story must feature all nine images on the dice; you choose the order in which they appear. You can play alone or in a group; in a group each player tells a story and you vote for the best or each player must continue the story by using one of the cubes.

Voyages, in the green box, is the third edition of the game, featuring nine new dice showing 54 new items. If you own all three editions you can play The Trilogy with three players: You roll all 27 dice and agree on a topic for the story. Then each player tells his part of the story using nine of the cubes. You can also just roll the Voyages dice and let each player use three dice for his part of the story.

There is no limit for your imagination! You can call the flowers a cog wheel or a steering wheel of schooner. And the telescope might be interpreted as a creatively decorated champagne flute, and the small asymmetric blobs are clouds or peanuts or cookies or a wallpaper pattern! The attractive small green box is an ideal travelling companion and invites you on a journey into the land of imagination; if you combine the sets you can even invent wonderful installment stories. Children are challenged and also enchanted by the idea to write down the story and put the cubes onto the page where and when they occur in the story.
