Book-opoly allows players a glimpse inside the many worlds of classic literature. It's a traditional property trading game where players buy, sell and trade their way to fun with family and friends. Interesting facts about the books and the authors are printed on the back of each property deed. Roll the dice and advance to Read. Collect Bookstores and trade them in for Libraries. Who knows! You may soon be elected President of the Book Club or you may be tossed out of the game for three turns and sent to WATCH TV!

  Book Worm Home Rules
Sincerelyornot of Oregon, 11/29/2011
Bookopoly is exactly what it sounds like - monopoly for bookworms. Unlike monopoly (which, in my opinion, gets old long before any one person owns a majority of the property), bookopoly has several new features. The back of each card has fun facts about the book or author it represents. Also, instead of hotels, you build up into libraries.

The game should technically be played just like monopoly. Roll the dice, move your token around the board, buy up properties, build bigger and bigger buildings, and try to either own the board or have the most commodities when you and your friends call it quits. However, any numer of home rules can be decided upon, including extra cash if you can guess what factoid goes with the card you are about to buy, or, a free pass from "watch tv" if you can name five titles by a given author.
