Kids and stories. These go together so perfectly. Kids love to tell stories and they do so naturally. So, it is a perfect fit to have a game that is all about storytelling. We received a copy of ‘Tall Tales: The Game of Infinite Storytelling’ to play with and review. When I initially showed this game to Eva and Andrew they were so excited to get it out and play. We played one night and they loved it. Andrew loved it so much that the next morning he went downstairs and moved the folding chairs into the living room to set up the game for us to play again, he’s four. The game is for ages 4 to 99 and Andrew is the perfect age to get into this. While he doesn’t exactly play by the rules he is often entertaining.

Like I said in the video the one thing I would change is the packaging, there is too much. This could be all in the carry bag, which is a very good way to have this game be portable, on a board instead of in a box. The game is such a great one for portability. Throw it in a bag and take it on vacation, perfect!

The story continues

Eva is also a natural storyteller. She has written a number of little short stories. She makes up stories about characters from shows that she watches or toys that she plays with all the time. So when she got a chance to play ‘Tall Tales: The Game of Infinite Storytelling’ she was over the moon. She took every part of play so seriously. She worked very hard on moving the story along with something entertaining. It often ended up being something about a giant.
