Smirk & DaggerBefore There were Stars, Board Game

Unlike any game we have ( and we love board games!). Never the same game twice, as each player’s imagination and story telling creates the game experience. Five stars plus!

I am not a big gamer. But this one got me thinking creatively and really listening to what others came up with.

the game is well designed and can be played competitively or not. had a lot of fun playing with fellow writers.

Although I have a great disliking for story telling games, this one is different. The time to come up with the story is short, so the game goes by quickly. The 1st time I played this game, I was VERY resistant. As we played my story unfolded, and it was quite easy to continue each round. The best part of the game is at the end, everyone goes around the table and gives complements on what they liked about each persons story. This really boosts your confidence level, and leaves you feeling really good about your self.

This game is great for creating a creation myth with friends. It gives an outline to create a story with enough flexibility to be unique each time. The experience I've had lends itself to a game that you come out of feeling like you've had a great experience with friends.The concept is simple, but the art, design and elements are excellent. This is a wonderful game for the budding story teller to the experienced game master.

Amazing storytelling game with the most heartwarming myths I have ever seen!!!

I have found this group activity (not a game, really) very useful in educational settings. I have used it in a large group setting to encourage creating personal stories, and getting participants to explore and see their own story as valuable.

This game is too long for what it is and really adds nothing new to the hobby. Once again designer Matt Fantastic/Loter shows that friends and not track record or skill can keep you around. Designers recommended that this game would be great to use in schools, but given intolerant and hostile attitude of Mr. Fantastic, I can't see schools as a good place for this title.
