Pickets & Blinds is a game for 3-5 players taking as long to play as watching a feature-length film. It's not a video game, it doesn't have a board, and it doesn't need any dice. Instead the action of the game is focused on the straightforward act of each player telling a story.

You make up these stories as you go. There's no scripts, no direction, and no net; just what you invent and imagine and improvise.

You'll also need a deck of playing cards. These are used to help inspire your tales by suggesting over 500 story leads that you can freely incorporate into your narration. A simple card game (similar to "memory") is woven into the fabric of the game that enables players to pace their stories, offers rewards for narrating an exciting story, and makes determining winners and losers an objective, impartial act.
