About The Book

What fits the character of Dracula best, “edgelord” or “wears: Invisalign”? Is Jay Gatsby more of a “clout chaser” or does he have a “strong drip game”? Compete for the characters you know and love and show your literary prowess in this witty literary party game!

Micki Myers’s Prose & Cons is a literary card game like Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, and What Do You Meme – but suitable for all ages. Based on works of literature, both classic and contemporary, Prose & Cons players compete to describe characters from popular books in the most fitting-yet-funny way.

With colorful character cards featuring figures from classic and contemporary literature—Hamlet, Elizabeth Bennet, Peter Pan, Dracula, Big Brother, Lady Macbeth, Jay Gatsby, and more—this easy-to-play game turns book knowledge into laugh-out-loud debate. Each round, one player judges which description best fits the character, and the player with the most character cards at the end wins.
  • Match famous book characters with contemporary jokes and references in this hilarious literary party game
  • Easy to play: Take turns judging the best character-card and description-card pairings
  • Perfect for readers, writers, students, teachers, and literature lovers
  • Great for parties, game night, classrooms, book clubs, family gatherings, and gifts

Bring your favorite fictional icons to game night and prove who really understands the assignment.
