In Ex Libris, you are a collector of rare and valuable books in a thriving gnomish village. Recently, the Mayor and Village Council have announced an opening for a Grand Librarian: a prestigious (and lucrative) position they intend to award to the most qualified villager! Unfortunately, several of your book collector colleagues (more like acquaintances, really) are also candidates.
To outshine your competition, you need to expand your personal library by sending your trusty assistants out into the village to find the most impressive tomes. Sources for the finest books are scarce, so you need to beat your opponents to them when they pop up.
You have only a week before the Mayor's Official Inspector comes to judge your library, so be sure your assistants have all your books shelved! The Inspector is a tough cookie and will use her Official Checklist to grade your library on several criteria including shelf stability, alphabetical order, and variety — and don't think she'll turn a blind eye to books the Council has banned! You need shrewd planning and cunning tactics (and perhaps a little magic) to surpass your opponents and become Grand Librarian!
A great theme for all us bookworms. Fun at all player counts but the solo mode is kind of bland. I don't have the expansion yet but I am planning on picking it up in the future.
I have played this at two player and solo. The two player games can be fiddly, depending on the order that the action space come out, but I had a great time. The theme is wonderfully quirky, and I love the different assistants that come in the game. The solo mode is currently my favorite way to play this, but that could change if I can find more people willing to play it with me at a higher player count.
