This is a game intended for 6+ year olds using a story telling mechanic. You start with a hand of hex chits (counters), if you have a once upon a time chit, you can start the story. If not, then you select a chit to replace and put it back into the bag and get another out, play passes around like this until someone starts. Once it does, you begin telling a story using the item, place, or person on your card. You can say as much or as little as you want - you must leave your last sentence incomplete, where the next person will complete it. Once you are rid of all your chits, you can play an end card, which has different types of endings - happy, sad, surprise, etc.
