Description

Bring Your Own Book

3–8 Players | 20 Mins | Ages 12+

Fast, hilarious party game that turns any book into a source of outrageous answers. Draw a prompt, grab your own book, and race to find the most entertaining phrase — the judge chooses the funniest entry.

How to play:

• Each player brings their own book and sits in a circle.
• The starting player (the Picker) draws a prompt card and reads it aloud.
• Everyone else (Seekers) searches their book for matching text of any length.
• The first Seeker to find a match announces “I’ve got it” and starts the sand timer.
• When time’s up (or all Seekers have stopped), each Seeker reads their selection; those who failed to find a match read a random sentence instead.
• The Picker awards the prompt card to their favourite submission. After each round the next player clockwise becomes the Picker.
• Whenever a player collects three cards, all players pass their books to the left. This can occur multiple times during a game.
• Win condition: with 5–7 players the first to 4 cards wins; with 3–4 players the first to 5 cards wins.

Why it’s great:

• Encourages creativity and laughter — every game is different depending on the books brought.
• Easy to teach, fast to play, ideal for parties, family nights and gatherings.
