I am not the first person to use this game as inspiration; here are a few other BookTubers using a game similar to mine (I am using a different board with different rules than these other BookTubers).
- Megan's Game of TBR youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0kC9v7GAlJ5DaEWYOua2sgZLWHjy55HL
- The Game of Life Chooses my TBR youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn7wZ4Kyk1mjoN6gBSexi-ReaFvJaEG8n

If you would like to play along with me, you can replicate or try printing out a copy of my board and the cards I am using for it here (I have included a template for the Book cards, but you'll want to set them up to work for your specific needs): drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cIy09jZo2sMEjgePjNVhRShTDfvfU4Vh?usp=sharing
