| How to Play |
| Number of Players: 1 to as many as you can handle, but 2 is suggested This was just supposed to be a game, but it seems to also tell little tid-bits of info from the TS world. Directions- This game is like a story. First you chose a scenario, ie. "The toys were at the movie theater," or, simply, "the theater." One person will be holding the deck face down. You start off by saying something like, "This person walked up to the consession stand." Then draw a card to see which character did it. Once a card is drawn it's put down face up, creating a discard pile. Then you continue- "This person was in the theater," Hamm, "Watching the," Bullseye, "Movie, starring this person as his sidekick:" Bo Peep. "Just then this person walked in:" Woody, "With his date," Buster. "He said, "Hey, I thought we were watching the," Green Army Men, "movie!" This game is pretty open-ended, but a few suggested rules are: Say what the person did before you draw a card. ie- don't say "Then this person, " Wheezy, "walked in." Say- "Then this person walked in," Wheezy. Sometimes it's okay, like, "they were watching the," Jessie, "movie." You can say it when you're playing alone, but not in a group; it takes away from the element of surprise. =) Don't specify a gender when describing what the next person did. ie- say "they" or "this person," not "he did" or "she did" Remember, there may be more boys in the pack, but you don't know who's next. On the gender note, there have often been delimas when trying to make this a soap opera, or saying "with their date," (like I did with Woody). Now, this might make this more interesting for some of you, but there are ways to counteract what somebody said by having themself or others intervene if it didn't go as planned. ie- Hamm accuses Bullseye of having been "behind the arcade with" Wheezy. Whoops. Wheezy can magically appear and say, "it wasn't me, it was," Bullseye. Hmm, that makes sense, he was by himself. This can go on until you pick a girl, but they don't usually comply either. Now, problems might occur with chosing a double, but you can be creative. "Prospector turned around and saw," Prospector. He was looking into a mirror. Woody says, "Who's for getting outta here?" "Not me!" this person replied:" Woody. Guess he was just being sarcastic. :) |
