Troubleshooting

Difficulty starting a story

Focus on the most striking illustration on the card. Ask 'who?', 'what?', 'where?', or 'when?' to generate initial ideas. Combine elements from different card types for more unique prompts.

Story becoming repetitive

Introduce a plot twist using a 'rhythm' or 'genre' card. Ask 'what if...?' questions to shift the narrative. Encourage players to think about character motivations or unexpected consequences.

Players dominating the storytelling

Implement a clear turn-taking system. Encourage active listening and provide positive reinforcement for contributions from all players. The facilitator can gently prompt quieter players.

Younger children struggling with complexity

Simplify the game by using only the story cards initially. Focus on oral storytelling and shorter narrative contributions. Help them connect the illustrations to simple actions or characters.
