A storytelling card game

You're an aspiring author. So is everyone else at this table.

Imagine you are one book away from the career you always wanted. So is everyone else at the table, and they would happily steal your ending to get there first. Gather the pieces of a story, turn your roughest ideas into something brilliant, then read your book aloud and let the room crown the best.

A Storycraft: Plot Twist Book Element card. One face holds two ideas: the rough First Draft, The Absconding Lady, and its Revised version, The Runaway Countess.
Up now: First Draft

One card. Two ideas. Play the rough First Draft, then flip it into the Revised masterpiece.

The whole mechanic

Every card is two ideas.

One half is the idea you had at two in the morning. The other is what it became after somebody with an editor's pen got hold of it. A gorilla leader becomes a guerrilla leader. A vampire poet with a six pack becomes three centuries of longing. Both halves are printed on the same card. Turning it around changes which one is upright, and that is the whole game.

Write your book

Gather a setting, a lead, a love interest, a villain, and the rest, then bend your roughest ideas into something worth reading.

Sabotage the competition

The table is full of rival authors. Steal an ending, saddle a neighbor with writer's block, and walk off with the perfect villain.

Read it aloud

At the end of every chapter, everyone performs their book for the table. The room votes. The best story takes the win.
