You are welcome to look through the City cards for inspiration. If one seems right, place it on the table to inspire your story.

When you've read the instruction cards, continue clockwise with the prompt cards. Take turns reading the questions out loud. Interpret the questions, and answer them, however you wish.
8
Other players may ask you questions or make suggestions on your turn, but whether you answer those questions or include those suggestions is entirely up to you.
9
If you encounter a card, or an answer, that you don't want included in the game, tap the X-card. That content is removed from the game.
10
If you drew a card that is removed this way, simply draw another card. You can "X" a card you drew.
11
You can also pass on your turn. To do so, give the prompt card you drew to the next player, and say: "I'd like to hear your answer to this question."
12
A prompt card can be passed around the table until someone applies the X-card to it.
13
Place the card "The City is under attack? Do you defend her?" in the bottom half of the deck for a shroter game, in the bottom quarter for a longer game.
14
Continue answering, passing, or x-ing cards until "The City is under attack!" is drawn.
15
Each player answers that question in turn. Then, the game ends.
