Fiction sequel with player powers
The sequel to Fiction is here! Based on the extremely popular Wordle, Fiction: Banned Books tasks players with guessing a secret five-letter word.
Be careful! When getting clues back from the tricky Lie-brarian, one clue will always be a lie. How will you overcome the deception?
Fiction: Banned Books features all new player powers, with words taken from history's most (in)famously banned titles.
What makes Fiction: Banned Books stand out?
Why We Love It
Almost everyone knows how to play Wordle
At this point, it feels like Wordle is almost as ubiquitous as Texas Hold-em or Chess. Because of that, Fiction: Banned Books is extremely quick-to-teach. Just explain the wrinkle of deception and player powers, and you're off!
The rare game that plays well with 2 or with 8+
Fiction: Banned Books is a surprisingly good couple's game. It also works well as a one-vs-many party. Hilariously, having too many "cooks in the kitchen" can make players second-guess themselves.
18 New Ability Cards
Spend your Fact/Fiction tokens to use your abilities. For example: "Your next guess may be 5 letters that don't spell a word." Use these powers cleverly, as they aren't cheap to use!
