Romanceopoly 2019 | July Check In

July 28, 2019 11 Comments

I first heard about this challenge from the booktuber Jess from PeaceLoveBooks. You can click on the graphic to find out all about the rules and how to sign up. This is based off the game Monopoly and the creators have even taken the time to develop a printable game board and other really cool things for this year long challenge.

“Each neighborhood in Romanceopolis offers up a new genre to explore and each street has a unique challenge within that genre. Although, some neighborhoods are a little more diverse and offer a melting pot of different genres to delve into.”

They also have a variety of ways in which you can play the game, with different levels of participation. I think I am going to go with the scenic route, which will be rolling the dice to determine where you go. As well I will be partaking in the tourist level which will be a total of 11 books.
