One book at a time, one story forever.
A Minute on the Shelf is a beautifully thoughtful board game where players build their ideal bookshelf by collecting books across genres, themes, and emotional resonance. It’s a gentle blend of light strategy, storytelling, and memory — designed for quiet evenings, creative minds, and anyone who finds magic in the pages of a good book.

More than a game of points, it’s a journey through the kinds of stories you love — and the ones you didn’t know you needed.

📦 What’s Inside:

• Modular bookshelf boards for each player
• 100 book cards in categories like Adventure, Mystery, Poetry, Nature, and Memoir
• 30 unique “Memory” cards that add depth and twists
• Genre tokens and shelf markers
• Trade tokens and story tokens
• Rulebook with solo and co-op modes

🕹️ How to Play:

Each turn, players choose from a hand of book cards and place one on their shelf. Books have traits like genre, rarity, length, and emotional tone. Some may trigger memories, unlock combos, or offer shelf bonuses for patterns like “All Poetry on Top Row” or “Chronological Memoirs.”

You can trade with other players, draw from a communal library, or play memory cards that let you “revisit” past choices. The goal is to build a balanced, meaningful shelf that tells a cohesive story — in look, content, and spirit.

At the end of the game, players share a short narrative of their shelf — a reflective, optional twist that makes each session as unique as the readers around the table.
