LET'S PLAY!
Story Round
During the Story Round, all players create and share their silly
story together. Have fun and let your imagination run free!

1.
The youngest player goes first and play continues clockwise.
2.
On your turn, draw a Story Card; you should always have three
Cards in your hand at the beginning of each turn.
3.
Choose any one of your three Cards and place it faceup on the
Story Board starting on the space furthest to one end. As you
place the Card on the Board, begin a story by including the object
on the Card. You may also include the Character Story Starter in
your tale if you wish.

EXAMPLE:
showing a drenched cat; you might want to start your silly story by saying:
Let’s say the Character is the Mermaid and you have the Card
“Once upon a time there was a cat that was so enchanted by the beautiful
Mermaid that he jumped in the lake after her, getting himself soaking wet…”
4.
Going clockwise, the next player repeats the previous story for all of the
Cards played up to that point. The retelling doesn’t have to be word-forword, but it must include the basic elements of the story, especially the
objects on the Cards and the Character’s involvement. That player then
plays a Card that MATCHES THE SAME COLOR OR ICON as the last
Card played, and continues the tale based on the object on that Card.
EXAMPLE:
“The lovesick cat got all wet when he jumped in the lake after the beautiful
If the next player plays the Card showing a wand, they can say:
Mermaid….so the Mermaid waved her magic wand and the cat suddenly
sprouted flippers!”
NOTE:
be matched with any other color.
5.
Some Story Cards have multiple colors; these are Wild Cards that can
If it is your turn and you do not have a Card that matches the color or
icon of the last Card played, you may discard ONE Card and draw a
replacement from the Draw Pile. If you draw a Card that is a match,
then play it. If it is not a match, your turn is over.
6.
Players continue taking turns contributing to the silly story until the Story
Board is full, at which point the Story Round is over and the Memory Round
begins.

MEMORY ROUND
Level 1
Remember Cards
The Memory Round is all about remembering what the Cards are. The
story itself will help you to remember! There are two levels of play:
1.1. The player who placed the final Card in the Story Round flips all of the
Cards over so that they are facedown.
2.
Turn order continues uninterrupted so that the next player is the first one
to go in the Memory Round.
3.
If it is your turn, try to guess the image that is on the first Story Card
that was played. You don’t have to retell the story, but that may help you to
remember the object, character, place or action shown.
4.
Make your guess out loud, then peek at the Card to see if you are correct.
Only you should look at the Card during your turn.
• If you guess correctly, take the Card and place it faceup in front of you.
• If you guess incorrectly, return the Card facedown to its place on the
Story Board so the next player can try to guess it.
5.
Players take turns guessing until all of the Story Cards have been removed
from the Story Board in the order that they were originally played.
6.6. Now count your Cards. The player who has remembered the most Cards wins!
7
IF YOU TIE:
representing the Character used in that game. The player with the most
Tied players should count their Cards that have the icon
wins!
Level 2
Remember Cards with a Twist
1.1. As in Level 1, when the Story Round is over, the player who placed the
final Card flips all of the Cards facedown. However, in this level, that
player then switches the placement of any TWO Cards on the Story
Board, while the other players note which cards were switched. This will
create an extra challenge during the Memory Round.
2.2. The next player goes first and tries to guess the image on the first Card
that was played, or if it was switched, whatever Card is now in that place.
Players take turns guessing until all of the Story Cards have been
removed from the Story Board in the order that they are now in.
3.3. When the Story Board is empty, players count their Cards and the player
who has remembered the most Cards, wins! Ties are broken in the same
manner, by counting the number of Cards that have the icon of the
Character used in that game.
