What it feels like
Close your eyes. Somewhere in these strange pictures is a dream only one of you had. A storyteller gives a clue, and everyone slips in a picture of their own. Find the dream... if you can.
How to play
- Everyone holds a hand of dream cards. Each round, one storyteller picks a card and says a clue — a word, a line, a sound.
- Everyone else secretly picks the card from their own hand that best fits the clue.
- All the cards are shuffled and shown. Everyone but the storyteller votes for the one they think is the storyteller's.
- Too obvious and everyone finds it; too strange and nobody does. Aim for some.
Scoring: Some but not all find it: 3 for the storyteller and everyone who found it. All or nobody: 2 for everyone else, 0 for the storyteller. Every vote your card draws is 1 for you.
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
