AGES: 4 and up
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2+
OBJECT OF THE GAME: All the books have been mixed up and the characters and objects
need to be made into a story! Players take turns making up a story using cards. Be the player
who is able to remember the most cards, in order, as used in a story.
CONTENTS: 54 cards
GAME SET UP: Shufe the cards and stack them in a deck, face down.
PLAY: The youngest player goes rst. The player starts the story by saying, “Once upon a
time....” as he turns over the top card of the deck. The player includes the object on the card
in this sentence, making up whatever he wants as long as the item on the card is included
in the sentence.
FOR EXAMPLE: If the rst card turned over is the “alien” the player may say ”Once upon a
time, there was an alien who came to Earth.”
The player then places the card back on the top of the deck, face down and passes the
whole deck to the player to his left. The second player must recite what the rst player said,
turning over the top card as he recites. The player then turns over another card and adds
this object to the story.
FOR EXAMPLE: If the second player’s card is the lollipop, the player may say, ”Once upon a
time, there was an alien who came to Earth because he was looking for a lollipop.”
Play continues as each player draws a card and adds to the story. The story can vary, but
the objects as noted on the cards must remain the same and must be stated in the order
drawn. Players do not have to recite the story word for word, and they may even change it,
but they have to remember the object on each card in order. A player must say the object on
the card before he turns over the card to go on to the next. If a player forgets the object on a
card or says the wrong item he is out of the game.
WINNING THE GAME: The winner is the last player remaining in the game.

ADVANCED PLAY:
OBJECT: Be the rst player to recite a story using all 54 cards without making a mistake.
PLAY: The game play is the same except that when a player fails to remember the correct
object, his turn ends. He is not out of the game, he just loses a turn. The deck is then
passed on to the next player.
WINNING THE GAME: The rst player to be able to remember all 54 of the cards in order,
without messing up, is the winner.
