How to play The Plot Thickens (Detective, Science Fiction, Romance)

About The Plot Thickens: Sci-Fi Edition, from BoardGameGeek:

The Plot Thickens is a storytelling game for quick-thinking, imaginative folks just like you and your friends. The object is to take your hand of story cards, (people, places and things) and lay out the tale of your character, and their fate! You'll earn plot points for every card you use to build your story, and every time you interweave with other's narratives. The storyteller with the most points gets to craft the ending as main character, while the person who connected the most to their cards gets to name the epic as the Author. What will your story be? In the Sci-Fi edition you'll explore strange place, meet weird aliens and blast your way through asteroids! The different genres of The Plot Thickens can be combined to increase the player count and give you more story options.
