Description

They say everyone has a novel inside them, just waiting to be written. Put the old adage to the test in a race to the creative conclusion in Novel: The Board Game. Each player chooses an author with asymmetrical talents and one of five fantastic genres. Start with a setting and a scene and boost your abilities with resources like imagination, research, and narrative genius. Boldly write chapters that move your main character through your unique storyline. But beware. All is not as smooth as it seems as you encounter writer's blocks and conflicts. To win, you'll need to take inspiration from the Muses and create sideplots to gain critical advantage over your authorial opponents. The end is triggered when the first player writes their final chapter. Have you covered all your plot holes? Is your story true to your genre? Ultimately, the author with the most points takes their place on top of the bestseller list and wins the game! —description from the publisher
