Storytelling | Board Game Mechanic ⁽⁷⁷⁾

In storytelling games, players are given conceptual, written, or pictorial prompts that they must incorporate into their own narratives. Once Upon a Time utilizes a selection of words, while Rory's Story Cubes feature abstract symbols to inspire creativity. Some games, such as Snake Oil and Big Idea, encourage players to pitch a product, often in the form of a short story or vignette.
