hildy89This sounds neat!
From the USA Today article on Booktastic game:
Laine Keneller created a board game called Booktastic! for similarly minded people. A friend, Will Peterson, designed the board, which is laid out to look like a neighborhood of bookstores.
Booktastic! costs $29.95, and more than 30 bookstores have placed orders. "It's definitely a game for book junkies," says Jerry Bilek, who ordered three for the St. Olaf Bookstore in Northfield, Minn.
At The Page Turner bookstore in Lewiston, Maine, Julie Warner (owner and lone employee) says it's a "really good family game."
Each player gets a card with the names of four books. The goal: Buy all four books, accumulate cash and a valuable collection, and win the game.
This game has a kind of Alice in Wonderland whimsy. For instance, "players can move in any direction and change direction at any time."
Players earn money by choosing questions from three levels: casual, avid and collector. If you choose casual ("Have you ever given away a book you'd like back?") you can win $25 in play money just for participating. There's no right or wrong answer.
