Read the full game description
A Place for All My Books is a warm spatial puzzle about the deeply satisfying problem of owning more books than shelves. Each player fills an apartment with stacks of colored book tiles, then rearranges those stacks to match Little Project cards. Completing several projects with one Admire action is efficient, but leaving home to visit the bookstore, library, park, and exchange costs precious social-battery energy. The worker-placement village offers new books and useful objects while creating competition for the best opportunities. Major Accomplishments provide long-term goals, and the solo game pits you against Penelope Eveready, an energetic rival who keeps claiming the books you want. The result is a gentle-looking but genuinely tactical game of pattern building, action timing, and resource management.
