How Many Stories?

The Storymatic claims to have six trillion stories in one box. For real?

From the description:


There are a million stories in the naked city, and even more in this little box. Ingeniously simple, this set of cards is designed to spark a tale, inspire a skit or just get the creative juices flowing. Each player draws 2 gold cards (occupations and character traits) and 1 or 2 copper cards (situations and objects), to set the story in motion. Where it goes next is up to you.
  • A game, a teaching tool and a creative catalyst, all in one
  • 540 cards (270 each of character traits/occupations and situations/objects) can be combined in endless ways
  • Perfect for road trips, rainy days and impromptu improv nights
And should we talk about how the 540 cards can be combined in "endless" ways?
