The plot thickens is a storytelling card game where players tell an improvised story from a hand of 5 cards, each representing a person, place or thing. The object of the game is to collaborate and connect stories as much as possibe, using plot points that are earned by playing each card. At the end of the game, the player who connected the most decides how the story ends. While the player with the most connections to their cards gets to choose a name for the story. The different genres of The Plot Thickens can be combined to increase the player count and give you more story options. The Plot Thickens was the winner of Hasbro's Next Great Game Challenge.
