Unusual Adventures is a new role-playing and narrative game in which children from 8 years old engage in an adventure full of unexpected events and obstacles. By collaborating with each other, children will have to tell stories they have never heard before to win the game.

Each character depicted on the cards has slightly bizarre qualities, which each player must be able to transform into ingenious resources. Only after having overcome the 8 obstacle cards together, players will be able to reach the happy ending of the story and finally defeat the final antagonist.

How to play

Players must help unlikely heroes complete their Hero Passport, a document that establishes characters as the official heroes of an adventure.

To play Unusual Adventures with a large group of children, it is best to divide the players into teams of 2 or 3, each of which will manage a hero. In addition to the role of the narrator, if the group is very large, the role of the writer could be assigned to someone who will have the task of writing the story told during the game.

Thanks to the blank cards present in the Online Resources, it is possible to invent new characters, obstacles or objects with which to experiment with new plots and narrative genres.
