Once Upon A Time is a
storytelling card game by
Atlas Games. Players are dealt a hand of cards containing typical
fairy tale story elements, such as witches, keys, fights, towers, or evil. Each player also gets one ending, such as "They were
blind to the end of their days for their wickedness and falsehood." or "And for I all I know, they may be dancing still". The
goal of the game is to use all cards, and then the ending card, while telling a
story.
The best part of Once Upon A Time is the about 10 blank cards that come with the game. We filled our set with with "
D&D reference", "snow monkey", "
spam", "
12 inches long", "toothbrush", "bluda" (an element of our personal mythology), "
clam", and others which I can't remember right now.
