Marla | 4789 comments ✩ Toss Of The Dice Reading Board Game

Round #1: 11/1/16 - 3/5/21
Round #2: 1/1/22 -

[Duplicate challenge to ★ Cocoon Spindle Board Game ~ in defunct (Bookworm's Cocoon)]

How to play:
• Roll a (1) dice at a time.
Dice Roller: https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1
• You can do all your rolls at the beginning or as you play.
• Do each task listed on the space you landed on.
• When you complete each task add up the points you earn.
• If you land on a space that you just cannot or refuse to do, you can reroll the die and go back that many spaces and do that task instead (you do not receive any points for that task completed).
• All Free Turns (and there is a lot of them) are read a book of your choice, but you do not receive any points for Free Turns.
• If you land on a Lose a Turn, go back the number spaces listed, once the task is completed you do get the points for that space.
• Read the books in order of your rolls, but you can read books in between your spaces you have landed on. (Example: Turn 1 Rolled a 2 Space 2 I read a B&W cover book, Turn 2 Rolled a 3 Space 5 I read a book published during January my birth month, but I want/need to read a couple of books that have a publishing month of June first. I read those 2 books and then go back to read my second turn book). Hint: I generally with these games plan on reading x amount of books a month. (I usually figure around 2 or 3 a month but there are some months that doesn’t work out. Some I don’t read any and some it turns out to be abundantly filled with the tasks from the game).
• As always make this a game/challenge for you how you want to play it. I just list guidelines as recommendations.
• There is a list to help document you plays below that you can copy and paste. (view spoiler)
