About this product
Every icon has a story. What will yours become?
Think fast, connect the clues and win the vote.
A creative 3–8 player storytelling party game where neon icons, surprise endings and 30-second challenges turn every round into a completely different story.
Product Description
A sword. A cactus. A clown. A racing car. What story could possibly connect them?
In Iconic Neon Stories, every player begins with the same shared icon, then has five personal icon cards to weave into their own story. You have just 30 seconds to work out how they all connect, and you may swap cards once if inspiration isn't striking.
Then comes the twist. Just before you start telling your story, you draw a surprise final icon that only you receive. Whatever it shows must become the ending. Suddenly that perfectly planned story may need a very creative last-minute turn.
Once everybody has told their story, players vote for the most iconic one. Win the vote and earn a point. Play continues with new combinations, new endings and plenty of opportunities for stories to take completely unexpected turns.
