Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

Do I need the original Rory's Story Cubes to play this expansion?

No! Rory's Story Cubes: Explore can be played entirely on its own. It comes with its own 3 dice. However, if you already own other dice from the series, you can mix them for even more options!

How many players can play?

The great thing is its flexibility! It works for 1 person telling stories to themselves, or for huge groups of up to 12 players. Perfect for parties and gatherings!

What is the recommended age?

There's no age restriction! It's great for young children just starting to tell stories, for teenagers, and even for adults looking to unlock their creativity or use it as a brainstorming tool.

How long does a game session take?

Game sessions are quite quick, usually between 15 to 20 minutes. But the fun can last as long as you want, as there's no set end – just create and enjoy!

Do the dice have numbers or just pictures?

The Rory's Story Cubes: Explore dice have images, or icons, on each face. There are 18 different thematic actions that serve as inspiration for the stories.

Is it a competitive game?

Not at all! The focus is entirely on collaboration and creativity. You create a story together, without competition. The goal is to have fun and use your imagination.
