This is a skill-building board game that you and your older child will enjoy playing together. It can be played for a few minutes, an hour, or all afternoon.

Up to eighteen players can participate in teams. It comes with a 16-page "Story Invention Guide" that is a lesson plan for 6+ hours of instruction for teachers, home schooling parents and youth leaders.
