Catalogue information
Running time from 45 minutes to 120 minutes. to be played from about 16 years. Award in 1992, Belgium, University of Leuven, Toy Award Although the box contains a game board, most players only use the two sets of cards. One deck of cards each has two starting sentences. The other kind of cards each contain six words that are completely unrelated. Now try to make up a story of 60 seconds that e.g. begins with "You are milking a cow" and incorporating the words stradivarius, coal, twins, engraving, kidneys and Saturn. It takes a lot of creativity to quickly come up with a story in which you process as many of those six words as possible, without your fellow players noticing this immediately. Because that's what it's all about: each player can write down a maximum of six words that he suspects are on your card. Every word they wrote correctly means a point to them. And every word that you - as a storyteller - had woven into your story and that was not guessed by anyone, scores a point for you. This game received an honorable award from the psychology faculty of the UCL (1992) because it sharpens verbal creativity and gives rise to enthusiasm, conviviality and communication. An excellent improvisation game for the elderly. Important note: Both the starting sentences and the series of words are listed in five languages on the cards (Dutch, French, Italian, German and English). This game can therefore be used perfectly within foreign language education.
