A downloadable game

Do you ever imagine the greatness that could happen in your own social circle? Consider what it took to create the forests, the cities, the world around you? This is a quick game about telling those stories with a small group of five to seven friends, the stories you will look back and remember as your adventures.

The cards are bets players make, as the story progresses, on who will build a lasting happiness together. The first round is made by any one player making a bet about some great fortune that awaits two of the people present. For instance, "I wager two people once made a deal right here" on a sporting ground or crossroads; or "I bet two people fell in love under this tree" in a forest. There are no prior identities for the players other than this origin point, but cues should be taken from the environment.

Any other player may tell a different version of the story as they believe it. Whoever reveals the most cards of that round is the version of the story that gets remembered. All players holding cards of the next round can continue the story as they see fit. How was greatness achieved in this place? It can be a simple reference to the scene, a joke, or total imagination.

In the final round, two players will tell the ultimate story of how they came together...
