Song of Tales is a game of collaborative and competitive story telling for 1-8 players. Players select a character from world folk tales to play as and then lay out a series of story fragments. They have to tell a story to tie the fragments together into a single coherent whole, using the style of their chosen character to do so. Other players can bid to join in with the story-teller's tale, extending the story and earning points for both teller and listener. Each story is scored, and at the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins. —description from the designer
