Fiction: Banned Books

Fiction: Banned Books is a cooperative and semi-cooperative word deduction game where players try to guess a secret word chosen from classic literature. One player acts as the Lie-brarian, delivering feedback in the style of Wordle but with one false clue hidden in each round. Using teamwork, deduction, and fact/fiction tokens to challenge suspicious hints, the group must reveal the correct word before time runs out. With reusable dry-erase components, a compact box, and excerpts from timeless novels, this game delivers a clever and replayable experience for families, parties, and game nights.
