Turn your favorite old books into the ultimate party game with Bring Your Own Book! This hilarious, easy-to-learn card game invites every player to bring one book of their choice โ from bestselling novels and cookbooks to textbooks, dictionaries and even old instruction manuals. Draw a prompt card, race to find the funniest matching line in your book, and compete for the judgeโs vote. With endless book combinations and a chaotic book-swap twist, no two game nights are ever the same. Perfect for book lovers, game nights, house parties and book club icebreakers!
Endless Replayability, Every Game Is Unique
Since every player brings their own book, youโll never play the same round twice. A romance novel, a physics textbook and a vintage cookbook will all deliver wildly different โ and wildly funny โ answers to the exact same prompt.
Quick & Easy to Learn
Simple rules let you jump straight into the fun in under 5 minutes. Each full game runs about 20 minutes, with support for 3โ8 players aged 12 and up โ ideal for casual game nights and large group parties.
150 Hilarious Prompt Cards
Packed with 150 creative and absurd prompts like โwhat killed the dinosaursโ, โa heroโs catchphraseโ and โwords tattooed on someoneโs bodyโ. Every card sparks ridiculous answers and nonstop laughter around the table.
Thrilling 60-Second Timer Rush
Flip the sand timer and scramble to find your perfect line before time runs out. Players who canโt find a match in time must read a random line from a random page as a penalty โ the chaotic, unexpected results are always a crowd favorite.
Forced Book Swap Rule
Win 2 rounds, and everyone passes their book to the left! This fun twist evens the playing field, stops players from dominating with their go-to familiar book, and makes unfamiliar books even more hilarious to play with.
๐ Perfect For
- Book club meetings & literary gatherings
- Family game nights and friend get-togethers
- Birthday parties, housewarmings and holiday celebrations
- White elephant gifts & book lover presents
- Icebreaker activity for classrooms and youth groups
๐ How to Play
Setup
- Each player brings one book of any kind (novel, cookbook, textbook โ all work!)
- Shuffle all prompt cards and place them face-down in the center of the table
- Set the 60-second sand timer within reach of all players
Game Rounds
Players take turns being the judge / card picker:
- Draw the prompt โ The judge draws a card, picks one of the two prompts, and reads it out loud to the group.
- Scramble & search โ All other players flip through their books as fast as possible to find a line of text that fits the prompt. It can be a single word, a phrase, a full sentence or even a whole paragraph.
- Start the timer โ The first player to find a match yells โIโve got it!โ and flips the 60-second timer. Everyone else must find their answer before the sand runs out.
- Read your answers โ When time is up (or everyone has found their line), players take turns reading their chosen text out loud. Players who didnโt find a match must read a random line from a random page as a penalty.
- Judge picks the winner โ The judge votes for the funniest, most absurd or most perfect answer. The winner keeps the card as one point.
- Pass the judge role clockwise and start a new round!
Win Condition
- 3โ5 players: First player to collect 5 cards wins
- 6โ8 players: First player to collect 4 cards wins
๐ก Pro Tip: For maximum chaos, have everyone bring super serious non-fiction books (law books, math textbooks, medical guides) and watch the silly prompts turn dry text into comedy gold!
