A cozy family board game about books, stories, and shared imagination.
The Book Shelf invites players into a warm and thoughtful world where the goal is simple but meaningful: build the most delightful, balanced, and unique personal library. Collect books across various genres, trade with fellow players, and share stories inspired by your growing archive.
It's not just about points — it's about the joy of discovery and the charm of a well-stocked shelf.
📦 What's in the Box:
- Game board with expandable shelf sections
- 120 beautifully illustrated book cards (fiction, science, fantasy, history, poetry, etc.)
- Genre tokens and rarity markers
- Trade & event cards
- Reading log sheets for storytelling rounds

🕹️ How to Play:
On each turn, players draw or trade book cards to fill their shelves. Each book belongs to a genre and has a rarity level. Players earn points by curating balanced collections (e.g., one from each genre), rare sets, author series, or thematic groupings (like “travel” or “magic”).
Special cards introduce literary events: reading marathons, banned book trades, or surprise auctions. In storytelling mode, players can earn bonus points by weaving short tales inspired by books on their shelves.
You can play competitively or cooperatively — a great fit for readers and non-readers alike.
