While playing video games is great, sometimes it pays to step away from the realm represented on a computer or console screen and dedicate yourself to books. The play “My Librarian” is very different from the works presented so far. Unlike Marvel Splendor or Zombie Kittens, Prim does not play cards or figurines here. Instead, there are a bunch of chips that you have to scatter correctly, which we will tell you more about in the following lines.

It’s time to organize your collection in My Library
Almost every collector of gaming items and books is well aware of the situation when buying a new bookshelf. Once you’ve done that, there’s always a stage where you need to store individual parts in it so that they can be removed as best as possible. And that’s what My Librarian is about. Only instead of real objects, you put picture cubes laid out in “your” living room in a bookcase. How many things you have around you at any one time determines how many players are in the game. Because while in a pair you form only a part of the available squares, as soon as the number of players is higher, you need to reach for squares with more than two points.
When it comes to customizing things, they are scattered around the field at random, so definitely don’t expect one game to be the same as the last and vice versa. We have items representing cats, books, games, trophies or paintings. Also in the range there are plants. You can cut the beak one at a time, two or even three pieces at a time. It really depends on you. However, there is a fundamental condition, namely the fact that the items you pick up must be in the same row and have at least one free side, so you will definitely not add a piece that became available when you take the first piece. bookshelf. The vacated space on the playing surface must always be filled again. However, as soon as the number of items drops to four, you will automatically throw them all into the bag along with the rest, mix it up and refill it with a new batch of items.
What do you do in My Librarian with the ones you collect? You put them in your bookcase and try to organize them to achieve the goals on your personal goals card. Their shape may be different. Sometimes you need to place the cat in one corner while another needs to take up the cup, and sometimes items need to be spread out more. You always put things in only one column, with the order being arbitrary. In addition to cards aimed at individuals, there are also cards with general goals, within which different combinations must be implemented.
Just like other matching games, in addition to these challenges, there is also an option to score points by stacking different types of objects next to each other, which gives you extra points. Whoever fills the library first ends the game and gets an extra point. Sometimes it pays to hurry up and try to close your ranks as soon as possible. However, the game had a very positive effect on the children from the village of Liptal, because it made them constantly think about how to arrange things in such a way that they could score as many points as possible in the final and win.
My librarian deserves a place on the family shelf.
As a result, My Librarian is not a difficult game. Against. As the age recommendation suggests, this game is aimed at younger players and beginners who have only a small percentage of experience in the board game format, but that doesn’t matter at all. It may still require some planning and foresight from the players. However, none of the values should be too high, so you can enjoy it even with younger players.
My small board community understood the principles of the game My librarian I think very quickly and honestly that in the future I will also let younger kids test the game, who might also enjoy the game full of visually pleasing pictures and bookcases to work with. This is primarily a family work, so the focus on veterans in this case is minimal, and I probably would not recommend it to them, at least for themselves, that is, if they do not have children. Other than that, it’s a decent starting title.
