Welcome to our 100th episode of The Bookmark and our season finale! This week we're playing Bookish Balderdash with guest star Debbie Stanton. Debbie is a supervisor in Public Services and a nonfiction addict. Here are the rules of the game:
- 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.
It was a fun game and Debbie won with 9 points!
