How to play
Sit in a circle with pen and paper. Everyone writes an opening story line, then passes right. The next person adds a line, folds down the first line so only the latest addition is visible, then passes again. Repeat until everyone gets their paper back. Unfold and read the stories aloud. The results are always hilarious.
