This game encourages creative thinking by creating metaphors and riddles. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in piles in the center of the table. Each player takes a colored writing card. Keep all other game components nearby. How to Play The youngest player starts and is the first narrator. He/she makes up a name (person, animal or object) and writes it on his/her writing card without showing it: this will be the mystery object. He/she then draws a card from one of the piles and places it face up in the center of the table, clearly visible to all players. At this point, the storyteller has 1 minute to come up with a metaphorical image or riddle to describe the mysterious object, starting with the image of the face-up card on the table. As soon as he/she comes up with a sentence, he/she says it out loud. At this point, the narrator turns the hourglass and all the other players must try to guess the mystery object. Any player can say it out loud. When a player guesses correctly, the round ends and points are recorded. If the time set by the hourglass runs out and no one has guessed, a new round begins, and a new narrator becomes the player to the right of the last narrator. The metaphor (or riddle) must contain the object depicted on the unrevealed card on the table, but cannot contain the name of the mystery object, nor derivatives, obsolete words, or words that refer explicitly to the latter. Here are some examples: If the mystery object is a BOOK and the unrevealed card depicts a TABLE, the Storyteller can come up with the following metaphors to help the other players guess the mystery object: "this is a paper TABLE", or "this is a TABLE with a cover" and so on. If the mystery object is a pair of PANTS, and the unrevealed card represents a LEMON, the metaphor or riddle might be: "this is a LEMON made of cloth" or "this is a LEMON that is peeled by unzipping." Points The two players - the one who guessed and the narrator - earn one point each. The first player to reach 5 points wins. Before the game starts, players can decide if more or less points are needed to win. Points are recorded and updated on the scoreboard using the erasable marker. Metaphors and Riddles The metaphors and riddles created can be more or less strange: the goal is to help others guess the mysterious object while following the rules of the game. Also, highly creative and brilliant metaphors may also be awarded by the majority with a special bonus of points. Ages: 8-99 Players: 3-5 Game Length: 30 minutes
