Ye Olde Rusty Lantern is an interactive storytelling game. There is one "Barkeep", who referees the game, and a number of "Bards", who tell the story. The Barkeep gives each Bard a set of story element cards, and a Bard, on their turn, submits story segments, using cards for each one. But other Bards can interrupt with their own cards, story elements can be declared "loose ends", and the Barkeep has final say on whether each story segment is approved. Whoever finished the story wins!

Each bard is presented with 7 cards, each card containing a word. To win, you must use all seven cards. The complications are spelled out in the rules

Use the link above to check the status of a game. The status contains infromation about whose turn it is, the last play accepted, denied or interrupted, number of cards each user holds, story elements that remain unclear, and total number of cards burned.
