Top Tale Previews/Reviews
“If you enjoyed “Apples to Apples” and found “Cards Against Humanity” to be too risqué, I think you’ll find “Top Tale” to offer a satisfactory middle ground.”
–Vincent Paone
Dad’s Gaming Addiction
“...I needed to make that point to highlight how vital a group vote can be for a card game and how much more fun Top Tale can be over those style games because of the group voting system.”

What is Top Tale?
Top Tale is a deck of cards where each card has a topic on it. Along with each topic, there's a caption that is meant to spark ideas for responses to the topic, or in many cases the caption is just meant to get a chuckle out of the players to help lighten to mood. Topics are things like, "Encounters with wild animals," where players are asked to share an interesting tale of when they encountered a wild animal. The game has some hidden strategies, where it's not always about what stories are told, but sometimes how entertaining they are when told.

It's Simple, Top Everyone Else's Tales
At the end of each round of game play, each player votes for their favorite response without voting on their own, and the person with the most votes wins the round. If there's a tie, then you have a tiebreaker round between those that tied, responding to a new topic card. The game continues until you hit a predetermined number of cards (e.g. a player collects five cards), or you all call it quits. There's a bit more to the rules, but you probably get the general idea.
