The game consists of a box containing one hundred double-sided book cards displaying a synopsis of a title on one side and the 'First line...' and '...Last Words' on the back. Included is a jotter-pad containing the full rules of the game, as well as a genuine British 1½d coin, for determining whether the first or last lines will be played (I got a vintage 1965 ha'penny coin in my box). The whole package is held within a 'book safe' style box, which fits neatly on your bookshelf.
The object of the game is to bluff the other players away from choosing the actual lines from the book in play, while attempting to guess the correct one yourself out of the list containing other player's invented texts.
e.g. Here is an easy one; but, still, harder than it seems.
J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan
a) Nana was the children's nurse.
b) All children, except one, grow up.
c) The Darlings had three children; Wendy, John, and Michael.
d) A shadow darted across the rooves of old London town.
One is the correct first line from the book. The other three, I just made up on the spot.
I like to shuffle through the cards in my spare time for fun. (Note: you probably should not play against me for money - not even that ha'penny ;)
UPDATE - You can now buy a 48 card extension pack for this game - called 'Ex Libris Addendum', with brand new authors, and now including non-fiction books as well!
