Who will be the storyteller for the first round? You decide! Is it the person who last read a
story or held a book? Or the person who can come up with their sentence fastest?

Choosing a card for the storyteller

Each other player selects the card from their hand that best matches the storyteller’s
sentence. They pass their card to the storyteller, without showing it to the others.

The storyteller shuffles their card with all the received cards, then randomly places them
face up on the table. The card on the left will be number 1, the one next to it will be
number 2, and so on…

Julien is the first player to find a sentence inspired by an image from his hand.
On the other hand, if the sentence has very little to do with the image, it’s quite likely

to everyone is: "Where is happiness?" referring to the French movie
"Happiness is in the Field."
So the challenge for the storyteller is to find a sentence that is neither too descriptive,
nor too abstract, so there is a chance that some players find it, but not all of them.
After listening to the sentence, the other players have to choose an image from their hand
that will best match the sentence provided by Julien.
At the beginning, this can be fairly hard to achieve, but you’ll see that inspiration
comes more easily after a few turns.
Léa has those 6 cards in hand:

Julien shuffles his card with the ones he received from the other players and places them

some of your own!
Each player (except the storyteller) is going to vote for the one they think is Julien’s card.

Only Léa has found Julien’s card (number 4). So she and Julien score 3 points each.
2 players have voted for Léa’s card (number 1) and so she scores 2 additional points.
Tom scores 1 point as one person has voted for his card (number 3).

At the end of this turn, Léa scores a total of 5 points, Julien 3 points and Tom 1 point;
Mathilde and Nicolas don’t score any points as they couldn’t find Julien’s card, and no-
one has voted for their cards.
For the next turn, Tom will be the storyteller as he’s seated to the left of Julien.
