Book Reviews of Once upon a Time: The Storytelling Card Game
Book Review: Innovative, fun, hilarious, and distinctly yours
Summary: 5 Stars
As soon as it was introduced Once Upon A Time became an instant favorite. Most games will tell you that it CAN be played by all ages. This one actually is a favorite of all ages. Eventually Catch Phrase or Taboo type games will grow repetitive as each round is the same and you exhaust all the clues in the limited number of expansions. This game can be completely different every single time, never grows old, and can be anything from deadly serious to hilarious to political commentary.
When I play with my group of 20 to 30 somethings, we sometimes make variants on the rules, which is an easy thing to do and can lead to all sorts of fun change-ups. We'll play blind ending co-op, 1 card no interruption turns, etc. The game lends itself to fun twists without a lot of thought.
We also introduced an "all characters must be named" rule to keep track of everything, and this also has led to hilarious or very fun scenarios and often puts everybody on the same theme.
