The Quest

How to run it

One deck, shuffled. Agree in one sentence where you are and what you are there for.

The turn

1. Whoever is up says what they are going to do about it. One thing, out loud, in a sentence.
2. Cut the deck. Red and it worked, and you say how. Black and it did not, and the man on your left says how.
3. A face card is worse than it looks: whatever happened, something else has now gone wrong.
4. Next man.

Worth knowing

• Nobody plans. The rule is that you say it before you have thought about it.
• Get through the deck and you made it. It is not a hard game; it is a game about the telling.
• Anybody can end a turn early by saying "and then" and handing it on.

What you need

• A deck of cards
