About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already into the limitless creative vibe of Rory's Story Cubes, get ready to dive into the animal kingdom with this expansion! Rory's Story Cubes: Animalia adds three brand-new dice, each featuring six thematic animal illustrations and their actions. That's 18 fresh images ready to supercharge your imagination. The beauty of this set is that it works perfectly on its own for a quick, animal-themed storytelling session, or combined with the original dice to expand the possibilities even further. Just imagine the wild combinations you can create! A lion might be running from a bird, or a dolphin could be teaching a monkey to swim. The possibilities are as vast as nature itself!

This expansion is a treat for anyone looking for a cool tool to unlock creativity, whether for writing, learning a new language (imagine describing the scenes in English or another language!), or simply for having a good laugh with friends and family. There's no age limit to storytelling, and Animalia makes it even more fun and visual. Just roll the dice, look at the pictures, and let your creativity flow. It's perfect for breaking the ice at any gathering, for use in the classroom, or for a solo fun session. The dice are very well-made, and the illustrations are clear, making interpretation and connecting ideas easy. If you're looking for a light, fast-paced game that playfully stimulates the mind, this expansion is a gem!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the original Rory's Story Cubes to play?
Not necessarily! You can play Rory's Story Cubes: Animalia on its own, as it comes with 3 dice. However, it's even more fun when combined with the base game dice for more variety.
How many players can join in?
Just like the original game, it's super flexible! You can play solo or with up to 12 people in a group. The focus is on creativity, not the player count.
Are the rules complicated to learn?
Not at all! The rules are basically: roll the dice and tell a story using the pictures that appear. It's super simple and intuitive.
What components come in this package?
It includes 3 special dice with animal icons and thematic actions. Nothing more, nothing less, focused on fun!
Is this a game for kids or adults?
It's for everyone! Kids love the pictures and the freedom to create, and adults can use it to unlock creativity, for educational purposes, or just to relax and have fun.
Does the story have to make sense?
The goal is to spark imagination! It doesn't need to be a movie script. The most important thing is to have fun creating and connecting the dice images.
