Description

In the charming world of Ex Libris, you're a book collector vying for the prestigious title of Grand Librarian in a bustling gnomish village. With the Mayor's Official Inspector set to arrive in just a week, you must outshine your competitors by expanding your library with the most impressive tomes. Send your trusty assistants to scour the village for rare books, but be quick, as sources are scarce and opponents are hot on your heels. As you collect books, you'll need to strategically shelve them to meet the Inspector's strict criteria, including shelf stability, alphabetical order, and variety. The Council's banned books are a no-go, so plan carefully to surpass your opponents and claim the coveted title. With 45 minutes of playtime and a mix of hand management, card drafting, and worker placement, Ex Libris offers a fun and challenging experience for 1 to 4 players, perfect for those familiar with board games and looking for a thrilling fantasy adventure.
