About the game
In Storytelling, players choose one of the four tales to play. One of the players becomes the Storyteller and he will read the tale cards, explaining the tale to the rest of the players. In his turn, the player must find the tiles with the pictures that the tale card shows. If he find all the pictures, he will gain the tale card. At the end of the game, the player with more Victory Points in his gained tale cards will be the winner.

Questions and answers
Storytelling supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Storytelling is 15–20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Storytelling for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Storytelling has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Storytelling belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Children's Game, and Memory. Its main mechanics are Push Your Luck, Memory, and Storytelling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Storytelling are: Toni Serradesanferm. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Storytelling as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
