Gameplay
The players gather around a table and place a Coaster Chronicles beer coaster in the center, logo side up.
One player randomly selects a prompt by rolling a die, flipping a coin, or using any other method agreed upon by the players, and flips over the top coaster.
The reverse side of the coaster is color coded representing a different genre: Horror, SciFi, and Fantasy.
The player who selected the prompt has 30 seconds to start telling a story based on that genre. They can set the scene, introduce characters, and describe events, but they must stop after 30 seconds.
After their turn, the player flips a coin or token to determine the next storyteller. If the coin lands on heads, the player to their left continues the story. If it lands on tails, the player to their right continues the story.
The next player has 30 seconds to continue the story from where the previous player left off. They can build upon the existing narrative or take the story in a new direction.
The game continues in this manner, with players taking turns and flipping the coin to determine the next storyteller. If a player is unable to continue the story within 30 seconds, they are eliminated from the game.
The last player remaining in the game wins the round, collecting the coaster.
Once a player has a coaster representing all three genres, they win.
Players are encouraged to be creative and imaginative in their storytelling, using the genre prompts as inspiration to weave interesting and engaging tales.
Optional variations: Players can add additional rules or constraints to the game, such as requiring each player to use a specific word or phrase in their story, or limiting the story to a certain number of sentences. These variations can add an extra layer of challenge and fun to the game.
So grab a coaster, gather your friends, and let your imaginations run wild in the world of Coaster Chronicles!
