In Call It A Day!, a player is chosen to be storyteller, and begins by drawing one of over 200 Alias cards. The Alias card reveals the character for that round. The character might be a teacher or time traveler, mermaid or movie star, vet or vampire—or one of hundreds of other familiar and fantastical possibilities.
Now it's time to see what might happen in the character’s story. Draw eight of the more than 700 Call It A Day! Activity cards. The storyteller’s job is to tell a story that includes at least six of the eight Activities drawn. The storyteller now weaves a story, arranging the cards in whatever order helps tell the best story.
After the story has been told, the other players rate it from zero to five. The storyteller function then passes to the next player, with each storyteller drawing new Aliases and Activites and telling stories for a predetermined number of rounds. The player with the highest score wins.
