Fresh from the shelves of the famed British Library in London and the Bodleian Library in Oxford comes Ex Libris, a game to challenge your literary acumen and test your writing skills.

Each card gives you a title, author and plot summary of a novel or short story.

At the start of a round one player, taking a turn as the reader, picks a card and reads it out. The other players then have to write a plausible opening or closing sentence to the work in an attempt to bluff fellow players into believing their 'script' to be the geniune one. These are all handed in to the reader, who has meanwhile written down the geniune sentence (given on the back of the card). They are shuffled, and each is read out. The winning player is the one who has most votes cast for his or her entry (while further ponts are won if you manage to identify the geniune sentence).

Reviews Review Game

Review
Best non-board game for bored adults that I have come across in a long time and can be played round a table or just lounging around. You don't have to be an avid reader to enjoy the game but some literary knowledge is helpful. Having said that, the last time I played was with a group that included two children of 8 and 11 and four adults so definitely a game for all the family. Would reccommend it for anyone who likes an intelligent laugh.
