Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Library for a new way to play!

Our friend Cassidy will provide a short introduction to this simple role-playing dice game developed for younger kids. Following the introduction, Cassidy will start a new game for everyone to join.

This playful improvised storytelling workshop allows kids to become the heroes of their own story! Through guided collaborative play (powered by the Amazing Tales storytelling game), children will use their imaginations and simple dice rolls to explore a magical world together.
