"Once Upon a Time 3rd Edition" - A cooperative card game where you can experience the joy of creating your own fairy tale story together

Welcome to the world of stories that begin with the words, "Once upon a time..."

Once Upon a Time 3rd Edition is a creative card game where 2-6 players work together to create new fairy tales. For ages 8 and up, with a 20-40 minute playtime, it's a fun way to spend time with family and friends.

Game content and basic rules

In this game, each player is dealt a "Story Card" that depicts a story element, along with a secret "Happy Ever After" card. The Story Cards depict essential elements of the story, such as objects, people, events, and aspects.

Players take turns being the "narrator" and weave a story based on the cards in their hand. On your turn, you use your creativity to advance the story, and when an element depicted on a story card appears, you put that card on the table.

As the story unfolds, if the "narrator" mentions an element depicted on their card, the other players can "interrupt" the story and become the new "narrator." This allows the story to move in unexpected directions, making it richer and more interesting.

The ultimate goal is to use up all of your story cards and conclude your story with a "Happy Ever After" card. The player who achieves this wins.

Game Features and Appeal

The greatest appeal of "Once Upon a Time" is that it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age. The game is designed to be enjoyed by the whole family, from children to adults.

Players work together to create a story, but at the same time each player has their own individual goal of winning, creating a perfect balance between cooperation and competition. The game requires storytelling skills to improvise and create a story, which naturally develops creativity and expressiveness.

The story can take on a variety of forms, from bright and fun to dark and terrifying, depending on the player's imagination. Each time a different story is created, so you'll never get bored of playing.

Detailed instructions

1. The goal of the game is to tell a fairy tale as a group, using all of your story cards and concluding the story with a "Happy Ever After" card.
2. The "narrator" has the opportunity to incorporate elements from their story cards into the story in a natural way, and if they do so successfully, they can put the card into play.
3. If the "narrator" touches something written on their card, the other players can interrupt the story and become the new "narrator." This changes the story's control and the story's development.
4. If the "narrator" is interrupted by another player or hesitates to tell the story, they may need to draw an additional story card.
5. To avoid any inconsistencies in the story, players will need to cooperate to some extent. It's important to strike a balance between respecting the settings created by the previous "narrator" while also expressing your own creativity.
