Versability - The Poetry Game (Hardcover)

Entertaining parlour game which enables you to beat the poetic masters at their own craft. One player makes a random selection from the book's verses and reads the first three lines; then the other players must compose the final line. These are then read out (along with the real line) and players must vote on which is the genuine one. Poets featured here range from Shelley and Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson and Christina Rosetti, each with a brief biography. There are also verses for children and instructions for more complex forms of the game. No knowledge of poetry is required so this is a game for everyone to enjoy. (Kirkus UK)

A witty parlour game to be enjoyed by anyone who can think up a rhyme. In its most simple form, it requires one player (the reader) to read three lines of a four-line verse to the other players, all of whom then write down their own idea for the fourth line. All contributions are handed to the reader who reads them aloud, together with the real line, without revealing the identities of the authors. The players then vote on which is the best and ponits are scored. Instructions for more complex versions of the game are included, and there is a section of poems for children.
