My buddy Matthew Moore is Kickstarting a new literary-minded card game called Bring Your Own Book.
Bring Your Own Book is fun and simple. Players take turns drawing prompts from the deck, then race to find the best phrase in their own book that satisfies the prompt. Watch this quick tutorial to see the rules in action.Bring Your Own Book started as a response to one of those memes on social media: "Grab the nearest book and turn to page 36; the first full sentence describes your love life!" They were occasionally amusing, but they lacked agency and reliable entertainment. Still, that act of reading text from books out of context was begging to be turned into a game.
I had the pleasure of playtesting an early version of this game last year, and it's cool to see the near-final product coming together. And in promising news, BYOB has been selected as one of eight games to exhibit at the PAX South Tabletop Indie Showcase, which is happening right! now!
