Plotto is an educational game designed to teach storytelling.  Plotto was designed with the collaborative writer in mind.  In the game, players are faced with random story elements which they have very little control over.  The goal is for each player to make the story make sense with the cards they have at the end of the game.  The player who is voted to have the best story by all the players wins the game.

The metagame puts the players in the role of warring dime store novelists trying to out-sell each others' books.  Each player has the power to sabotage each other's plot lines or edit their own a finite number of times.

Plotto is inspired by the book Plotto by William Wallace Cook, the author and screenwriter of hundreds of novels, short stories, and silent films.
