Dragon's End - Game

Dragon's End is a game that can be played by participants from ages 10 and up. It's a small card game with basic rules. It can be played among 3-5 people.

 

The objective of this card game is to form a short story. Each player picks a card during his/her turn and uses the word on the card in a sentence to start or keep the story going. The main rule is, a player is allowed only one sentence each turn.

 

There should be a mediator on this game, dictating where the story is located, the genre, and the situation of the story. The mediator can say things like: "It's a cold winter morning and there's a fire in the neighborhood..." or "Three friends see ghosts on an alleyway and began to scream..."

Once that is said, players can start the game and pick a plot card once it is his/her turn. A plot card cannot be reused.

These are plot cards. There are 32 plot cards each with a unique word that can either be a noun, a name, a verb, or an adjective. Per turn, a player picks up one plot card and starts up or continues  the story using the word on the card. The player's main objective is to form a sentence within 10 seconds to continue the story or the sentence the player before him/her said.

The mediator is in charge of "assisting" or making sure the story will still make sense especially when players start adding their own twists to the story.

There are 6-7 plot cards that have a star marked at their backs. When a player picks up a plot card with a star, they get to pick one plot twist.

 

 

There are seven existing plot twists in the came. These cards are sentences with blanks on them. If a player is to pick a plot twist, it means they have to use the sentence during their turn.

There's always a 10 second time limit. If a player hasn't formed a sentence to continue the story within 10 seconds, he/she is eliminated from the game.

The story only stops when a player picks up an "End" Card or if the game runs out of cards.

 

 

 

There are four End Cards that are mixed with the plot cards. The person who gets the End Card has to think of the ending of the story. If he/she could think of a good ending of the story, he/she wins the game.

 

You cannot end or form a new story until the story that has started is over.

Dragon's End is a game that will test your wits, creativity, and story telling. :)

Have fun!
