51 -- The Word “Game” In The Title

51. The Word "Game" In The Title


Our final winning prompt for 2022 is a book with the word “game” in the title. This could include the sub-title as well.

Alternatively, you pick a book with a game in the title. (For example: a title with the word “chess,” “golf” or the title of a video game in it.) The original winning prompt had indicated that this suggestion was in honor of the 2022 Winter Olympics, so you could creatively choose a book featuring the Olympic Games.

Could I use We Ride Upon Sticks for this prompt? I mean it has "sticks" which in this case means hockey sticks. I know it's stretching it a little ...

As we say, "Your Challenge, Your Rules!" If you feel the prompt fits, then go for it!

Do you think that The Queen's Gambit would work here? It's not the name of a game, but a specific move in the game of chess. And the book is very much chess centered.
The rule follower part of me says the word game is not in the title. the other part of me says go for it.

Your challenge, your rules.... but for me, I personally would not count it for this prompt. If the prompt were "about a game", or "relating to a game", then yes. But it specifically says the word game in the title. It feels very specific in this instance.

I just started Ender's Game. I don't read a lot of SciFi but what I have read I do enjoy. So far I am enjoying it.

I read Wild Game. It’s a memoir about the author’s life.
