This challenge is based on the Snakes & Ladders game but with a romance twist. The Hearts & Tears gameboard has 144 squares and each square represents a GR shelf or other instructions. The object of the game is to reach square 144 by reading the books on the shelves/following the instructions on the squares you landed.

  • To see a clearer image
  • List of Squares
  • Roll a die, move that number of squares and read a book from the shelf or follow the instructions on the square you have landed on. For example, if you rolled a 1, then you move to Square 1 and read a book from the paranormal romance shelf. If you rolled a 4, then you move to Square 4 and read from the romantic-suspense shelf. To continue on the game, you keep rolling the die, moving that number of squares and reading a book from that shelf/following square instructions.

Hearts: if a player lands on a red square, s/he has to follow the red ribbon up to the square with the heart with wings and read from that shelf.

Tears: if a player lands on the crying emoticon (tears), s/he has to slide down to the square with the broken heart and read from that shelf.

RULES1♥ Books must have at least 150 pgs.

2♥ If you land in a Goodreads shelf, a listopia or a Award list, you must read a book that is on that shelf/listopia/award list, using the exact same spelling. So for example, if you land on the shelf 'own' you CANNOT use books that you own that are not on the shelf, or that are shelved in 'books-i-own' or 'owned', etc. ONLY books in the 'own' shelf will count for that shelf.

3♥ If a book does belong, but isn't there (ie: Shelf is 'werewolves', book is ALL about werewolves, but no one has tagged it as such) it ISN'T acceptable because it's not on the shelf.

4♥ Conversely, if a book is on a shelf but doesn't belong (i.e: Shelf is 'bodyguard', but there aren't any bodyguards on it) the book IS acceptable b/c it's on the shelf.

5♥ You can read any book with more than 150 pgs. that is on the shelf/listopia, even if only 1 person has it there. You can add books to shelves or listopias, as long as you know for sure that the book fits the shelf/list.

6♥ DO NOT roll the die until you have at least started the book you are to read from your current position. That’s right, NO planning too much ahead on this game. You can only roll the die for your next move when you have started reading the book from your current shelf and this is only so you can, if you need to, get the next book from the library.

7♥ You can read a maximum of 2 books at around the same time however please note, you can only be one roll of the die ahead. Meaning, that if you are reading two books, you can only roll the die ONCE to know which your third book will be. You can only roll for the 4th die once you finish one of the first two books. Also please note that you will have to finish reading all books to finish the game.

8♥ You can choose NOT to read from a shelf if you really don't like the shelf you landed. In that case, you must roll a die, move that number of squares back and read from shelf your landed on. For example: you landed on Square 32 (shelf: cheating) but you don’t want to read from this shelf. Roll the die again and assuming you got a 6, move back 6 squares to Square 26 (adventure) and read from this shelf. If after the above step, you once again found that you do NOT want to read from this second shelf, roll a die and wait for that number of days prior to rolling again for your next move.

9♥ Rollbacks into Hearts are NOT ALLOWED. If your rollback lands you there, you must roll again. So for example, let's say you are in Square 52 (billionaire) but you don't want to read a book from there and decide to roll back. If you roll back a 3, that will land you in Square 49 (Hearts) but as this is not allowed, you will have to roll again.
