Designed by Andrew Rilstone, James Wallace and Richard Lambert 1998. (There are earlier edition, at least from before 1994.) Published by Atlas Games. For 2-6 players and takes about 10 minutes to play. The players create a story together, using cards that show typical elements from fairy tales. One player is the Storyteller, and creates a story using the ingredients on her cards. She tries to guide the plot towards her own ending. The other players try to use cards to interrupt her and become the new Storyteller. The winner is the first player to play out all her cards and end with her Happy Ever After card.
