Synopsis

The classic, instantly playable parlor game "Two Truths and a Lie" gets a literary spin—perfect for inquisitive book lovers of all stripes and fans of trivia and pub quizzes.

This literary twist on the classic parlor game features a box of 100 game cards divided into four categories: quotes, characters, plot points, and author biography; the catch: on each card two of the statements are true, and one is a lie!

With each card presenting an extra fun fact about the work in question, the game is the perfect easy-to-play conversation starter for parties, car trips and rainy afternoons.
