The course of the board game Between the Lines

Places full of unique experiences and adventures await your expedition. Between the Lines is a team game in which you and other players go on a journey to any book in your library. At the beginning of the game, somewhere in the book, place the Tabor bookmark. The camp will be your starting point. A few dozen pages further on, insert another bookmark - the Lost City, which will be the goal of your expedition. In each round, one of the players goes "into the book" and takes on the role of the Wizard. First, they read a short passage from the book to themselves and then mark it with one of the illustrated bookmarks. He then reads the same passage aloud to the other players. The group of players must carefully perceive the form and especially the meaning of the text to try to discover which illustrated bookmark the wizard has chosen. If they succeed, they will move the Tabor bookmark in the book towards the Lost City. If they fail, they leave the bookmark in place and lose letters or homework. In order to win, you must get your Camp to the Lost City and successfully explore it.
