Romanceopoly 2023
It’s a year-long challenge!
I first tried to play this back in 2019 – and failed horribly! This year, though, I’m going to do my best to actually make this happen! Basically, the idea is to use dice to move around a game board. Each “square” has a genre plus a reading prompt. You have the choice of doing just the genre or doing the prompt for a harder challenge. Of course, I’m doing the prompt! Once you complete that square, you roll again, moving to a new one.
Have more questions?
Here’s a link to the challenge. It runs from January 1 to December 31 2023 so there’s plenty of time to join!
