Critical Grind Board Game Cafe

09/03/2026

Hot from GenCon! 📚Bring Your Own Book may initially seem like it would be difficult to play at the cafe, but alas! We have our Little Free Library able to be used to play the game! Sometimes you gotta think outside the box (and onto the bookshelf) to find a solution.
Life is short, play more games.

How to play:
1. Grab any book.
2. 1 player "the picker" pulls a prompt card and reads out loud.
3. Everyone finds something in their book that makes sense, or not.
4. Read your responses.
5. "The picker" picks the winner.

(There are fun alternative ways to play in the rulebook)
