About the game

What is Comic Turns

The deck comes with optional rules for three games included; ways to play competitively, collaboratively, and just to explore the storytelling possibilities, but user-created rules and ways to play are highly encouraged!

In the included rules, gameplay involves adding or replacing cards from a hand or pool to create narratives. The goal is always to create the best, most unique, interesting or fun stories. In a competitive version of the game, players have to fill in the middle of a story between a start and end card with cards from their hand. They take it in turns to reveal and tell their stories, and then vote for a winner. Voting is done by simultaneous pointing at the person whose comic strip you liked the best. In the collaborative versions, the emphasis is on building stories as a group, either by adding panels, or swapping panels out for new ones.

Comic Turns is also a tool for learning about comics, building stories, inspiring creative writing and sparking the imagination.
