At the beginning of the game each player equipped with 6 pieces of different cards with illustrations. A player then played the role of the storyteller (held in turn). He started the game by choosing one card he has. The storyteller then say a sentence (maybe one or more words, or even voice only) which according to the illustration / picture on the card he chose.
After the storytellers say the sentence is completed, each player other (which also has six cards) and then choose the one card he had, he thought most appropriate to the tale that has been described previously. The card is then handed over closed on the storyteller. The storyteller then mix all the cards he received his own with a sixth card. The entire card is then shaken and then opened to be viewed by all other players. Each player then try to guess the card belongs to the storyteller who made the game early main ingredients of the sentence he utters.
If all the players can not find the card then the storyteller’s storyteller gets 0 points and every other player gets two points. The same is valid if all players could correctly guess the card of choice on the storyteller. If there is at least one player (but not all) that is able to guess the card is the storyteller and the storyteller, the player who guessed correctly gets three points. Each player gets one point if there are other players thought his card was the card belongs to the storyteller.
