Product Description

Product Description

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic game transformed to a world of books., August 17, 2007

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

A bookish spin on a classic game. My daughter and I are both avid readers and we have a great time with this!

Tell me, who needs properties when you can have books? Houses and hotels when you can have bookstores and libraries? Is there really any comparison? Except that maybe, the more money you have, the more books you get and time to read them!

When I first saw this game,I wanted to know more details than the box provided, so I'd like to share some details with you other inquisitive's who are wondering whether or not to purchase this:

The tokens are icons from various books. ie: A carousel horse from The Catcher in the Rye, a whale from Moby Dick, a fly from Lord of the Flies, a ship, glasses and a book worm.

The four railroads are Genres
The electric co. and water works are Imagination and Big Brain
The community chest and chance are Knowledge and Explore
Pass 'Read' to collect your $[...]
Go to jail by Watching TV
Just Visiting is Excercise your mind
Free Parking is Free Dreams
Taxes are Book club Fee

When I play this, I am reminded of the many classics that I haven't read, and am inspired to read them! This is a fun version of monopoly. Great gift for a booklover!

By	C. Forsyth (AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We love to read and what better than a game about books. This game includes so many of the old classics. My whole family gets involved when we pull it out. It was a great purchase, I highly recommend this game to all families.

We gave 'Book-opoly' - A Monopoly Game For Book Lovers along with a book entitled 'From The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler' to our fourteen year old granddaughter, an avid reader. She commented that she had read almost all of the books listed on the board. Book-opoly is great gift for any book-lover to receive. The game is educational and great fun to play. ~ Mrs. B.
