Once Upon A Time


How:
Cards, friends, minimal table or floor space.

What:
Story telling collaboration with surprise theft of narrative control and awesome ending phrases that each is trying to work towards.

Who:
Children, adults, and anyone who likes taking random, disparate elements and weaving them into a fairy tale style story.

Where:
Your friendly local game store, or Amazon has it ($24).

Why:
This one crosses all age groups, getting to our storytelling instincts very effectively. I played a ton of it in high school, and just recently recommended it to some older friends to bring along for a visit to some family with children. Kids get this quickly, adults can jump in easily, since the rules are light and the replayability very high. Plus it's small and portable.
