"Black stories: Stadt-Land-Tod" is a very fast game that can be played with at least 2 players. Theoretically an unlimited number of players can join the game - the only limiting factor is the number of pencils and sheets of paper you have at hand.

In each round a letter is randomly determined. Then each player writes down a substantive for each word category that start with the determined letter.

The categories are (among others): Place of murder, weapon, escape vehicle. They are predetermined on the sheets that come with the game.

The first player who manages to find a word for each category stops the round and the results from all players are compared.

For each word a player wrote he gets points: 5 if other players wrote the same word / 10 if no one else thought of this word.

Example:
Random letter: C

Anna wrote for the category "escape vehicle": car
Bob wrote: cab
Roy wrote: car

Anna and Roy get 5 points each. Bob gets 10 points.

After this the next round begins.

The game can continue as long as the players agree on.
Finally all points are summarized and the player with the most points wins.

This game is the "black stories" variant of a classical game called "Stadt, Land, Fluss" (City, Country, River) which is played by almost every child in Germany (e.g. at school during breaks).
