StoryLine: Scary Tales (2016)

About this game

Description of the publisher: Continue your own fanciful adventure stories with the spooky addition of Scary Tales, the second installment of StoryLine! In this simple, beautifully-illustrated card game, three to eight players create a story together, with each player contributing characters, places, objects, and events to the narrative. Two narrator decks and over a hundred story cards are included to provide ample replayability, and Scary Tales introduces cards to add fright and mystery to your tales. Will your villain be a Wicked Vampire or a Mad Scientist? Will their lair be in a Mysterious Swamp or a Haunted Chapel? prepare yourself for a frightful evening; this story is yours for the telling!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
