Reminds me a bit of Once Upon A Time... which is a fun story-game.

Got it! The more dice, the greater the task of making a connected story from them all. Character prowess will be represented by *eliminating* story dice from the pool, one by one, thus making the story you want easier to create. Opposition will be based on either returning a particular die to the pool, fixing a die so that it is not rolled, but must remain in whatever orientation is chosen, or taking away a die which might make the story easier. There would be no GM, of course, so the opposition would be provided by the player to your left.

It could work... :D

That was my first though - the first pure Story-Game.

That'd be awesome about about 6 beers.

"...about, about ...?"
Looks like you might be working on that 7th beer.

You know a koala doesn't drink, Ed! He just eats shoots and leaves...

Ever seen a video of a koala after a few eucalyptus leaves?

That's a myth, actually. It's the bottles of Jack Daniels they keep up there that do the trick.
