If you love unleashing your imagination and crafting wild stories, check out this Rory's Story Cubes expansion! The Atomic version comes with 3 brand-new dice, each featuring 18 thematic actions that will transport you to the world of science fiction. Think spaceships, bizarre aliens, futuristic technologies, and anything else your sci-fi mind can conjure.

The cool thing is that you can use these dice to complement your original Rory's Story Cubes, mixing themes and creating even more epic narratives. Or, if you want to dive headfirst into outer space, you can play solely with these thematic dice. The concept is simple: roll the dice, look at the images that appear, and start telling a story. "Once upon a time, in a distant future..." and there you go! From there, just let your creativity flow.
