We used this game as a prize for our summer reading program. We issued library "book bucks" and the kids used them to bid on the prizes. Bookopoly was one of the most popular prizes that "sold" to the highest bidder.

An excellent learning tool, that ads fun to reading! It is a good conversation game. My kids and i talked about the books that are listed.
The only negative I found is after a few plays everyone knows the answers to the questions,. You could always make up your own cards.

This game was purchased as a Christmas game for the family so we have not played it yet. We are looking forward to it.

The instructions were not clear; or perhaps we hadn't played Monopoly for some time,that we'd forgotten the general rules.
It was a novel activity for an English class to brainstorm and market, but it did not meet my expectations.

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!
