Hug Fiction

A collaborative storytelling experience based on Donald Barthelme's “The Great Hug” 

By Yangying Ren, Francys Dong, and George Still

HUG FICTION is a collaborative storytelling game where two players take turns in building a story based on Donald Barthelme's “The Great Hug.” 

Players use three types of cards–environmental, action, and dialogue–to craft a unique story, with one player making use of text-based “plot” cards, and the other making use of pictural “storyboard” cards. At the end of the game, players discuss their own interpretations with each other and explore the variety of perspectives wrought by other players, the designers, and themselves.
