About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt like your creative juices just ran dry? Rory's Story Cubes: Actions is here to jumpstart your imagination! If you're already a fan of the original-style storytelling dice, this expansion is a total game-changer. We're talking about nine brand-new dice packed with 54 unique-action icons, also known as 'picto-verbs.'
The concept is as easy as roll-and-tell: toss the dice and weave a tale based on the actions you see. It's a fantastic tool for improv players, writers looking for a spark, or even language learners trying to practice verbs in a fun, low-pressure way. You can play these dice on their own to focus purely on movement and interaction, or mix them with your existing Story Cubes sets to add a layer of dynamic-action-driven plot-twists to your-already epic adventures.
Pro tip: the newer-print versions use dark blue ink, making it super easy to tell these action-oriented dice apart from the classic-style-dice. Whether you're looking for a quick-fire-party game or a way to spice up a tabletop RPG session, these-action-packed dice are ready to roll. It's fast, it's fun, and it's the perfect way to turn a boring afternoon into a storytelling extravaganza!
