About the game
What you do in a play session
If you love letting your imagination run wild and crafting wild narratives, get ready for Rory's Story Cubes: Disaster! This little gem is an expansion that brings 3 brand-new dice, each with 18 thematic images ready to throw you into breathtaking scenarios. Think natural disasters, emergency situations, or any chaos your creative mind can conjure. The magic happens when you roll these dice and use the resulting images to weave a story. It could be an epic survival adventure, a tale of overcoming adversity, or even a comedy of errors – the sky's the limit (or whatever the dice show!).
The coolest part is that you can use these dice as a standalone set, creating entirely new stories focused on disasters, or mix them with your original Rory's Story Cubes deck to add an extra touch of drama and excitement to your storytelling. It's a fantastic tool not just for having fun telling stories, but also for boosting creativity, aiding language learning (imagine describing an erupting volcano in another language?), and even for brainstorming creative solutions to everyday problems. It's a game that works for everyone, from kids to adults, and it's perfect for warming up your mind before an RPG session or simply for a moment of relaxation with family or friends. Roll the dice and let the story unfold!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base Rory's Story Cubes game to play?
Not necessarily! You can play with these 3 disaster dice on their own, creating stories focused on that theme. However, if you already own the base game, you can mix them in for even more options and fun.
How many players can join?
Just like the base game, this expansion is super flexible. It works for 1 player telling stories to themselves, or for large groups of up to 12 people (or more, if imagination allows!).
What is the recommended age?
Generally, Rory's Story Cubes is recommended for children aged 6 and up, but the 'Disaster' version might be even more engaging for those with a bit more vocabulary and abstract thinking skills, perhaps from age 8 onwards, depending on the context.
What's included in the box?
The box contains 3 special dice, each with 18 unique images themed around disasters, ready to inspire your stories.
Are the images on the dice scary?
The images are disaster-themed but are generally presented in a stylized and not overly graphic way, designed to be accessible and spark creativity rather than frighten.
How long does a game session last?
There's no fixed time! A 'session' can be as short as 10-20 minutes, with everyone telling a quick story, or extend for hours if the group wants to explore multiple narratives and possibilities.
