Summary: great concept- not an easy fun time though
Review: Got this for our nieces (6 and 8).... thinking they have a flair for the dramatic and knowing the 6 year old wouldn't be up for it alone yet. Its not an easy game, though I really wanted to love it and was excited about it. Would be great fun for natural storytellers, and certainly stretched all of our story-telling muscles. The girls did like it and quickly filled in the blank cards with their favorite kind of items.
so the stories don't just come together. It probably would be a great way for helping get people to practice making up stories, that just felt more like work than fun.
alas.

Summary: A fun game that can be educational, too
Review: I received this game for my birthday and I only wish I had learned about it sooner! The cards are illustrated beautifully which make them a delight to look at, but the game is just as fun to play. Children and adults ages 6+ can play since only an imagination and basic reading skills are needed. The game asks for players to make up stories with the cards they receive. The game ends when someone is able to play an ending card.This game is also great for the classroom where children can learn about the elements of a story including events, characters, endings, etc. There are many ways to play and learn.

Summary: Campfires end happily ever after with this game...
Review: Once upon a time cards have enchanting illustrations and a multitude of uses. The game can be adapted to bring out creativity in any agegroup. Character, event, place, descriptive and item cards add elements to the stories you create while ending cards direct the general theme of your story...but all the other players are directing the story to a different ending! Can you get the Farm boy together with the princess so they can live "happily ever after" or will the witch send the princess to another relm from which "she was never seen again"? I have used the cards in story telling and to direct skits, with first graders, highschool students and college students, at resident camp and parties. They are always fun, I only wish there were more decks to choose from!

Summary: This card game is a must have!
Review: Once Upon a Time is a delightful game in which players use cards in their hands to tell a story. Other players may interrupt a story by playing certain cards and then they continue the story. You are trying to tell a story to reach your Happily Ever After card. Every game is different, you are only limited by your imagination! The cards are beautifully illustrated and it's definitely worth the price!!!

Summary: Excellent replay value
Review: The first time I watched this game being played, I thought it seemed a bit boring and difficult. But when I actually had a chance to play... wow, I don't often laugh that hard. We played four games in succession, and stopped only because we all had to get up early the next morning.
With four or five players, a typical game lasts about 30 minutes, so it's good at small parties when you don't want to commit to something too time-consuming. Heck, it'd be good at the airport, waiting for your delayed flight, if you're traveling with the family. Adults and children can play this game together, so long as everyone has a good imagination. The rules aren't complicated, and it only takes one game to get the hang of it.
It's amazing to watch a story line, one that you think is a dead-end, be transformed by another player's intriguing (and often hilarious) plot twist. It really gets you thinking creatively. I wish I'd found this game before starting my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) story--it would've come in handy.

Summary: A card game for all ages
Review: This is one of our all-time best-selling games (translated so far into five foreign languages!). Cards represent fairy tale elements (e.g., "A Princess," "Treasure") and endings (e.g., "...And the parents were reunited with their long-lost child"). The emphasis of the game is cooperative more than competitive. It's wonderful, wholesome fun for all ages, from children just learning to read through grandparents, and a perfect gift/stocking stuffer. Open it up Christmas morning, and the whole family can play.
