Your old favorite book becomes your new favorite game! Draw a prompt card, grab a book, and race to find the most entertaining response. Can you spot a ridiculous tabloid headline in a bestselling novel? Or uncover dating advice in your well-worn cookbook? The judge picks the funniest answer — and since any book works, every game is different. Book your next game night!

Gameplay Overview
Bring Your Own Book is a wonderfully clever party game that turns any book — novel, cookbook, instruction manual, dictionary, whatever's on your shelf — into game fodder. Each round, a judge draws a prompt card calling for something specific ("a ridiculous tabloid headline," "dating advice," "a villain's threat") and players race against the sand timer to find the funniest matching passage in whatever book they grabbed. When time's up, players read their finds aloud and the judge picks a winner. The genius is in the constraint: you can't just say anything funny, you have to find it in actual printed text, which produces the most unexpected and hilarious combinations imaginable. With 150 prompt cards and an infinite pool of source material, no two games ever look alike. A portion of sales from every copy benefits camp scholarships — so your game night does a little good in the world too.
