About the game
If you love unleashing your imagination and crafting wild stories, Rory's Story Cubes: Arcade is your next quest! This expansion introduces three brand-new dice, each featuring 18 thematic actions that will plunge you straight into a video game universe. Think adventure stages, epic challenges, and characters straight out of the screen.

The cool part is you can use these dice on their own to invent a gaming saga from scratch, or mix them with your original Story Cubes set to add an extra pixel-art flair to your narratives. It's perfect for anyone looking to boost creativity, practice a new language in a super fun way, or simply gather friends to brainstorm collaborative stories. Each player rolls the dice and uses the resulting icons to weave a plot, starting with the classic "Once upon a time..." and seeing where their imagination takes them.

This version is ideal for those seeking a light and quick activity that stimulates thinking and communication. With 1 to 12 players and games lasting no more than 20 minutes, it guarantees fun anytime. There's no excuse not to let your creativity flow and create your own digital adventure in story form!
