Celestial Stories

This is one of the games featured in Dice & Ink: A Roll & Write Anthology, and exists as part of that compilation.

In Celestial Stories, players fill the skies with constellations together and tell their stories in this cooperative storytelling game. Instead of taking turns, most of the game is played simultaneously in real time.

Here’s how it works:

Each player has a player sheet and a six-sided die.
All players first chart their first star on their sheet. Then a one minute timer is set. All players now pass their sheet to their neighbor. All players then roll their die and chart a star that many spaces away from the first star, following certain guidelines. Then all players pass their sheet to their neighbor again.
This process repeats until the timer ends. All players then finish the constellation they have in front of them. When all players are done, they each tell a story about how their constellation got in the night sky, and how it relates to the others.
Come together and spin fantastical stories, enjoy each other’s stories and find out how each constellation became the stuff of legends. For once, it is not about winning, but about sharing a story.

Celestial Stories requires a standard six-sided die for each player. Components include one player sheet per player.
