If you would like to play along with me, you can replicate or try printing out a copy of my board and the cards I am using for it here (I have included a template for the Book cards, but you'll want to set them up to work for your specific needs): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cIy09jZo2sMEjgePjNVhRShTDfvfU4Vh?usp=sharing
