This week we are playing a game called Bookish Balderdash with guest star Debbie Stanton. The rules of the game are as follows:
-One person (the "Dasher") reads the synopsis of a book.
-The other players make up what they think is the first line of the book.
-After all players have submitted their first line to the Dasher, the Dasher mixes them up and adds the slip of paper with the real first line.
-The Dasher reads the first lines out loud to the other players.
-Each player picks which first line they think is the real one.
-The Dasher reveals the real first line of the book.

The points are given as follows:
-1 point for every vote their answer earned.
-2 points for correctly guessing the REAL answer.
-3 points to the DASHER if no players guess the real answer.
-3 points to any player who writes an answer very similar to the real answer.
-As a bluff, you can vote for your own book but you will not earn a point for this vote.
