Spin that Yarn

Spin that Yarn is a card based game that can be either played collaboratively or competitively, based on the concept of finding the most basic building blocks of fairytales, allowing players to either follow the plot of existing stories, or create their own versions of well known tales. It is accompanied by a book documenting these fundamental aspects of fairytales across the world, and how they provide a way to connect with and empathise with people from other cultures over a shared thread.
