Bookopoly – Back To School Edition

This month, I wanted to create a Back To School edition as one of the Bookopoly boards. Apologies I haven’t posted any in a while. If you follow my blog, you will know that I was very unwell in June and had surgery at the beginning of July. I have done two this month to make it up and to see them you can click here.

The Back To School edition was inspired by a Twitter / X thread by @seashellduvall where they asked:

And I thought this could be a good Bookopoly board for someone who wants to reread those books from school. Or get into what some countries consider “classics”. So, amongst the other prompts, I have listed a book mentioned in this thread!

The Bookopoly Board

The Rules

Like always, I would suggest using two dice. There is only one rule, to add a roll each time you pass Go!

The Prompts…

  • For the Two Income Spaces, we instead have a 30-day buying ban and a 100-day buying ban.
  • The two utility properties are the oldest book and the newest book, on your TBR.
  • Instead of Stations, we are travelling around the UK, or across the world. I use Hiveword’s Random Places Generator to generate a place in the UK or somewhere in the world (whichever you land on). Then you can pick a book set there or by an author from there.
  • Instead of Chance cards, we have Social Choice. You can play this in two ways. You could either scroll through the feed of the social media app you’ve landed on until you come across a book already on your physical TBR. Or, you can scroll until the first book you come across
  • Instead of Community Chest cards, I chose Book Clubs. There are so many online book clubs, some also meet up in person! I picked Goodreads, BOOKCLUBS, and Meetup. You pick a book club and read the book they have chosen that month. This may encourage readers to join book clubs and find more book friends.
  • All the other prompts are self-explanatory but please reach out if you would like more guidance.

You can download your copy with the rules and prompts below…

As always, thanks for reading…
