A Place for All My Books*
A Place for All My Books is a cozy puzzle strategy game for one to four players where you gather, sort, and shelve books in your apartment. A perfect fit for book lovers and quiet game nights.
What's it about?
You stack books in the rooms of your apartment to finish personal projects. Once a project is done, you admire your collection and claim rewards. One of them is fresh energy, which sends you out into the village to grab even more books.
How it plays
Over nine rounds, each turn runs much the same way:
- Visit a location in the village.
- Gather new books.
- Sort them into your apartment.
- Finish projects and score Victory Points.
Components
The production is lovely:
- 130 illustrated book tiles with engraved spines
- Four apartment mats and one village mat
Who's it for?
The sorting puzzles are easy to solve. The trick is fitting as many as you can into one admire action. A solo mode pits you against the tireless rival Penelope, who keeps snatching the books you wanted.
Conclusion
If you enjoy relaxed, brain-teasing games and a bookish theme, you will love A Place for All My Books. If you want sharp conflict, look elsewhere.
