Collectively, pick 1+(# of players) notecards and distribute randomly.

Together, create one or more protagonists and a starting location. 

Choose a player to narrate the first scene.

When it is your turn, play toward your theme but leave room for input from the other players.

On another player’s turn, look for ways to add details without over-shadowing the current player’s theme.

Play as long as you like; at least once around the table.
