Asmodée - Rory's Story Cubes

Loving dice and discovering these - I just had to have some! I stumbled upon a video on YouTube where this game was being demonstrated by the inventors. (I'd never heard of it) At first, like most people I guess, I was a little sceptical as to whether it would be the success it appeared it could be when I actually came to have a go myself. We're all a little shy I guess, and so the thought of rolling random images on cubes, and then having to `link' those images up to tell some kind of story (which could easily be nonsense - depending on what was rolled!) sounded a bit embarrassing to say the least... However; I thought I'd give these a go; not least because I love games involving dice (and these are nothing but dice with images instead of numbers, and so were so appealing to me) and also the fact that the people I saw playing with them seemed to really to be enjoying themselves! Having ordered my set - I couldn't wait to received them I was so eager and ready to go - and I wasn't disappointed! The very first throw, gave me quite an amazing set of images that I was fortunate enough to be able to think of a `link' without too much thought, which was good, as I would think a bad set of images on the very first go might influence newbies into thinking this may not be a good idea - but as it was, because of my good experience, in the very first instant my confidence and imagination had both `fired'! I then was surprised yet again when introducing them to my partner, who doesn't really enjoy dice games as much as myself, and who I thought would be pretty hopeless at it - proved to be much better than myself! Okay; they are a little expensive (and dice always are) but they ARE excellent quality (and so they should be) they come in a very neat little box with a magnetic fastener, and there are `expansion' sets. All in all a VERY good product; a challenging and imaginative game that I think is good for both young and old alike, and particularly for elderly people, in that it would be a great way to be sure their minds remained active! Five stars for a wonderful, useful and enjoyable little idea!

I adore these story cubes! I had never heard of them until a friend told me all about them and brought her child's story cubes (this actual product) around to me to show me them. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the box as they come in a very strong, well designed box, closing with a magnetic strip. The interior of the box has not been ignored and looks very elegant and expensive, nothing has been spared in creating these. The cubes themselves have defined images that allow for multiple inferences. For example, a footprint could be used as "As we walked further, we came across an enormous footprint" or a child could simply use it as "We then went for a walk" because it is a foot. It is totally adaptable and dependent on the child or indeed adult using them...won't lie, I will be playing with these for my own muse and also to show my children what fun can be had. I am more interested in resources like these lately as I am now a Home Educator and have been for almost a year. One of my daughters(9 years old) is very resistant and had many issues at school resulting in extreme anxiety. When she is faced with a large task such as "Write a story about a man with a horse" she completely melts down and can not even start due to the anxiety and magnitude of the task. However once we received these story cubes, which I must say arrived so fast that I had not time to tell my friend I had purchased them and simply messaged her to tell them they were here as they arrived the next day, she was the first to want to try them. This set was purchased with two extension packs, the mythic and intergalactic ( I think they are named). I printed off some pretty bordered paper and off she went writing two full pages of story which plainly showed how much the cubes had helped. She had a smile on her face and thoroughly enjoyed using them. Anyone with an anxious child will understand the value of this. I look forward to using these cubes consistently with my children for many years to come and I feel so lucky to have them. They have unlocked my children's imaginations in a way they can express.

9 cubes, each with an individual picture of all sides, creating a unique story on each throw. We bought this as "not sure what to buy" for a niece and nephew (age 6 and 3) for xmas, not thinkng for one minute how much fun it would be! Our daughter of 10 was so envious of it we then ordered her one too. We took ours on holiday over the xmas period. Out of all the electronic gizmo's our daughter took with her this game kept her amused the most, which was very refreshing when we live in a world of technology! It really made her use her imagination. We all took it in turns to create the next adventure of the story. She would write out the next chapter to the stories too. We had so much fun listening to the adventures! It is absolutley brilliant, really gets you thinking and rather addictive. And completely broadened our 10 years vocabulary and imagintion. Its small enough to pop into handbag too which meant we could use it the plane, car journey, restaurants etc etc. I totally recommend this product for all ages. Really good fun.

Bought these for my daughter's 7th birthday as she has a very busy imagination and loves reading stories, making up her own and having them made up for her. She liked them a lot and played with them perhaps a little too much initially which meant that, for her, as one other reviewer has stated, they did get a wee bit limited as she couldn't come up with too many different permutations from the same pictures so the novelty wore off quite soon. We had a wee break from them for a while and now get them out a little less regularly just to keep it fresh. It's even more fun now as our 3 year old son can also join in with us and that puts another little brain/perspective on the case which turns it into quite a hilarious game for us all. I just love that we can sit round the table with these, get the creative juices going and have some quality play time. Would definitely recommend.

This is the 3rd of a set of 3 main blocks of 9 Rory's Story Cubes....I have brought all 3. There are also 3 add-ons of 3 cubes. This is a fantastic concept and great fun. A brilliant mind expanding learning tool that will keep young children, parents, Aunties and Uncles and older children's minds active. Each cube has 6 sides (obviously!) and on each facet there is a picture like a tree, cat, rain, flower, dinosaur etc....One Throws all the 9 dice and the 9 images that are showing on the top surface allow you to think up a story. The are thousands of combinations and the add-ons allow expansion. Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Very happy 😃

Great little product for making up stories for young children. This is brilliant it doesn't matter if you have a vivid imagination or a good story telling ability, these dice give you the prompts to make fresh and original ideas come to life. They're not cheap but are of excellent quality and thier use is so simple. I see a number of applications for more than just telling bedtime stories, educational, ice breakers, calm time, creative writing and more. The best part is the additional expansion products that are themed, they just can expand what is on offer. Despite the price this is neat, portable and actually is loads of fun, even adults could make a competition of story telling out of these dice!

I bought this set and the 'voyages' set for my 6 year old twins as they enjoy stories. My first impression when they arrived was 'it's smaller than I thought it'd be' on reflection that's a really stupid impression as it's 9 dice in a box, what was I expecting, it to require a team of 4 postmen to deliver it? The dice are really good quality, nice and weighty with the pictures etched onto the faces. The pictures on the dice in this set are a different colour to the pictures on the other set I bought so it's easy to sort them into the right box. In terms of the imagination benefits for my children I've seen the same picture used to mean different things eg. a picture of a ring has been a ring, a wedding, a hole. In the short time they've had them since Christmas the stories have got better as well eg. they began as: a BEE went on a PLANE to a CASTLE and there was a RING... and now the same pictures used in the same order are give a story more like: a BEE was too tired to fly so it went on a PLANE to a CASTLE where there was a WEDDING betwwen a king and queen... There's currently a 3rd set called 'actions' and I'll definitely be buying that one to add to the 2 we already have.

This game was recommended to me when I was taking part in a webinar on activities to use in my English classes (I'm a high school teacher). I took a gamble and bought a set and my learners thoroughly enjoyed this game. No two games are ever the same. I would recommend watching the YouTube video that was made by Asmodee with the creator Rory explaining and demonstrating how to play it. On the downside one of the cubes has a learner plate "L" on it which was a bit confusing for my learners, because I live in Taiwan, but I just said they had to use a word that begins with the letter L. For Christmas 2020 I bought a set for my elderly relatives, a set for my parents, and a set for a teaching colleague. Everyone loved it when they played it.

Kids love it so much, I'm considering purchasing other variations.

Lustiges einfaches Spiel. Leicht zu verstehen.

Se trata de unos dados con imágenes para que se elaboren cuentos o narraciones a partir de las imágenes (con algunos o todos los dados) Las combinaciones son tan altas que no ha lugar a la repetición. Estimula la creatividad, la imaginación y la expresión de los niños y sirve para que todos pasen un buen rato. Son dados de pequeño tamaño que se transportan sin problema y con gran calidad en el plástico y en los dibujos.

My first set of Rory's story cubes which I am very delighted with to create wonderful stories with :)

Pas terrible , je trouve que c’est plutôt limitant que stimulant pour l’imagination . Je ne les ai pas utilisés finalement mais le groupe était adulte . Avec des enfants ça doit être beaucoup mieux .
