Welcome to this year's season finale (Part 2 of 2). As a refresher, here are the rules of Bookish Balderdash:
- One person (the "Dasher") reads the synopsis of a book.
- The other players make-up a first line for the book.
- After all players have submitted their first line to the Dasher, the Dasher mixes them up and adds the slip of paper with the real first line.
- The Dasher reads the first lines out loud to the other players.
- Each player picks which first line they think is the real one.
- The Dasher reveals the real first line of the book.
Here's how we score:
- 1 point for every vote you answer earned.
- 2 points for correctly guessing the REAL answer.
- 3 points to the DASHER if no players guess the real answer.
- 3 points to any player who writes an answer very similar to the real answer.
- As a bluffing trick you can vote for your own bluff, but you will not earn a point for this vote.
In an unexpected turn, we had a tie between Chris and Autumn. We had to do 2 tie-breakers. Autumn is our official winner! Thank you, Debbie Stanton for guest starring.
