About the game
What you do in a play session
Untold: Adventures Await is a cooperative storytelling game that puts players in the role of heroes in a story that unfolds in under an hour. Each session is divided into five distinct scenes, each featuring a set of scene cards, dice, and reaction cards that guide the action. Players roll the famous Rory's Story Cubes to discover events, encounters, and unexpected twists, and then use the reaction cards to respond to what happens. The role‑playing mechanic lets each player give voice to their character, deciding how to act, speak, and interact with others. The combination of dice rolling, narrative, and decision making makes every game unique, unpredictable, and full of memorable moments.
The game is fully cooperative: all players work together to overcome challenges and reach the story's climax. There is no competition among participants, only collaboration and creativity. This makes the game accessible to children, adults, and families who want a lighter, more fun gaming experience. The rules are simple – just learn how to use the dice and cards – and the story‑creation system adapts to any genre, from epic fantasy to urban mystery.
Components include the Rory's Story Cubes, 60 scene cards, 60 reaction cards, character tokens, a rulebook, and a set of action dice. The box also contains a notebook so players can jot down story details and develop episode arcs that can be played in future sessions. The artwork on the cards and dice is vibrant and inspiring, helping to spark the imagination of all participants.
If you love telling stories, improvising, and creating adventures in a group, Untold is a fantastic choice. It offers a quick, fun, and creative gaming experience with a system that fits any group looking to escape the routine of traditional board games.
