About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever had that moment where your creativity hits a wall and you just need a little nudge to start an amazing story? Well, Rory's Story Cubes: Strange is exactly that nudge! But a quick heads-up: this is an expansion! If you're already a fan of the original line, get ready to upgrade your storytelling game. This pack includes three brand-new dice featuring 18 thematic action icons that can steer your narrative toward unexpected and, well, slightly 'strange' directions (true to its name!).
Versatility is the name of the game here. You can use these dice on their own for a quick improvisation exercise or mix them with any other Story Cubes set to create even more creative chaos. The concept is straightforward: roll the dice, and whatever symbols land face up becomes the fuel for your 'Once upon a time...'. It's a fantastic tool not just for RPG sessions or board game nights, but also for brain training, practicing new languages, or running fun, lighthearted group icebreakers.
Don't expect complex rules or massive manuals. The goal is the flow of conversation and the joy of seeing how each person interprets those symbols in their own unique way. It's fast, direct, and perfect for travel or casual hangouts with friends. If you're looking for something to break the ice or add a fresh spice to your storytelling sessions, 'Strange' is the ideal companion to make your tales much more dynamic and surprising. Just roll, observe, and let your imagination run wild!

How long does a game last?
It's super quick! Usually between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how long your stories get.
Do I need to know English?
Nope! The dice use icons, so there's no language barrier. It's actually great for language practice!
