How to Play
Set up:
- Remove 5 Plot Twist and 5 Prop cards from the heckle deck.
- Deal each player heckle cards
Objective:
One player (Speaker) improvises a story using Character and Setting driving towards their hidden Goal card while the Audience heckles to disrupt and challenge them.
Game Flow
- Draw Cards – Speaker draws 1 Character, 1 Setting, and 1 Goal card.
- Start the Timer (5 mins) – The Speaker begins storytelling, aiming to incorporate heckles and resolve their Goal.
- Heckle! – At any time, the Audience plays:
Black Heckles – Like 'Not That' or 'Why?'. Played directly to the Speaker.
Coloured Heckles – Like Genre shift or Plot twist. Played on the board, modifying the narrative.
4. Story Closure – The Speaker ends by resolving their Goal card or when time runs out.
5. Points Tally - Players debate if cards were incorporated or just mentioned. Cards incorporated act as points.
