Description

Ex Libris is a game that's all about bluffing and literary knowledge. First published in 1991, it's a favorite among book lovers and writers, and it's easy to see why. The game is simple to learn, but challenging to master, and it's perfect for a group of 4 to 8 players. In each round, one player takes on the role of the reader, and the others have to come up with fake opening or closing sentences for a novel, trying to trick each other into thinking they're the real deal. The game features a wide range of authors, from Charles Dickens to Barbara Cartland, and includes actual first and last lines from famous novels like Moby Dick and Pride and Prejudice. Players score points for correctly guessing the real sentence, and for convincing others that their fake sentence is genuine. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Ex Libris is a quick and entertaining game that's perfect for a party or game night, and its unique blend of betting, bluffing, and wordplay makes it a must-try for anyone who loves books and games.
