Pretty Book Games For a Nice Bookshelf

I got the idea for this collection from visiting my brother. He has a shelf of cool classic games, but they look like Really Nice Books on his orderly bookshelf.

Not all haphazard and mismatched with different sized boxes piled up (like my game closet).

Word Games in Books

These word games would look great on your shelf, and are FUN to play!!

Classic Bookshelf Games: More Games in Books!

And these bookish games are classic! Who doesn’t love Clue, or Sorry, or Yahtzee? And if you have time, Monopoly and Risk are fun. But the best part is that you store these games in books!

Risk is my brother’s favorite game. One of my husband’s, too, honestly. But they never let me play growing up. I think maybe twice I got to play, when they were desperate for someone to play with.

These next few are all new to me, but they look like fun book games to play, don’t you think?

Bookish Games Actually Based on Books:

When someone takes the time to bring books to life, it’s awesome. And These book games look pretty fun:

Word Games for Book Lovers

There are some cool word games out there, and if you love reading, you will probably really enjoy them.

Fun Bookish Games for Groups

These are all slightly different, but are definitely fun games for groups of 2 or more! Playing Boggle with my mom and brothers growing up is one of my favorite memories. My mother-in-law introduced me to Quiddler, and it has a unique twist!

Upwords is something we played as homeschool kids, it gave us our language arts credit for the day!

Word Around is one my mom found recently, and it’s fantastic! that little round card has 3 rings of letters. It gets set in the middle of the table, and everyone tries to find where the words start, and read around the card. It is fast-action, and one of the most fun word games for groups! We took it to a Ladies Retreat, and it was very popular.

And Scattegories. I can’t get anyone to play Scattegories with me anymore. I don’t always win, but I definitely have more fun with it than the others do!!

Games for Word Lovers

Bookworms love quality wordsmithery, and building words and stories is just plain fun for us, so as book games go, these look awesome!!

Word Games to Play With Friends

Mindtrap is another one no one will play with me anymore. My parents got it for me in middle school, I believe.

Despite the claims of my brothers, I did NOT study the cards, but my mind works the right way for this game. I can usually solve the story puzzles pretty fast. Looking forward to my boys being old enough to play!! (yes, I still have my sets from back then)

Word Games for Groups

I can’t decide. I want them all!!

More Fun WORD Games for Groups

These Bible games are “WORD” games on a whole different level. Challenge your friends to Bible word games, or try Bible-Opoly…
