About the game
What you do in a play session
Rory's Story Cubes: Moomin is the expansion that brings the charm of the Moomins to the classic creativity game. It adds nine new dice, offering 54 action icons—so‑called "picto‑verbs"—all printed in dark blue ink to keep them distinct from the original cubes. You can play this set on its own or mix it with the base cubes, creating an even richer pool of storytelling prompts. The rules are straightforward: each player rolls the dice, looks at the symbols that appear, and then improvises a tale that incorporates every image. There are no winners or losers; the goal is to unleash imagination, whether for a family game night, a creative‑writing exercise, or as a language‑learning aid. A typical session lasts 20‑30 minutes, accommodates 1‑12 players, and carries a light weight (1/5), making it perfect for a relaxed pastime. Beyond fun, the cubes foster pattern recognition, cooperative play (when in a group), and storytelling skills. Moomin fans will love seeing Snufkin, Moominmamma, and the titular Moomin on the dice faces while crafting adventures that range from everyday to fantastical. In short, it’s a portable inspiration kit that fits in a bag and guarantees laughs around any table.
