How to Play Rory's Story Cubes

1. Roll and Link All Nine Images

Roll all 9 cubes and look at the face up images. Pick an image that will be the starting point for your story. Beginning with "Once upon a time...", make up a story that somehow links together all 9 face up images.

2. Tell a Story to a Title or Theme

Think up a title or theme for a story. (Examples: "The beach", "My fantastic vacation", "Dream".) Then roll all 9 cubes and try to tell a story that relates back to the title or theme.

3. Take Turns Building the Story

Divide the cubes evenly among the players. (It's ok if some get more than others.) Starting with one player and continuing in a circle, take turns rolling the cubes and adding to the story based on the face up images. Stop after all 9 cubes have been rolled, or continue rolling for additional rounds.

Notes

To play while traveling, remove the clear insert and roll the cubes in the tray. To neatly store the cubes, flip over the insert and place it back in the tray.
