A place for all my books (EN)

A Place for All My Books (EN) is a heartfelt celebration of reading, collecting, and the joy of organizing a perfectly curated personal library. In this charming cozy board game, players carefully arrange stacks of books throughout their apartment while completing personal projects and creating the ultimate reading sanctuary.

Over nine rounds, players alternate between relaxing at home and visiting the nearby village to discover new books. Inside your apartment, you will stack, sort, and reorganize books to fulfill specific patterns and objectives. Once your projects are completed, you can admire your collection to regain social energy before heading back into town to hunt for even more books.

At its core, the game is a clever spatial puzzle filled with rewarding decisions. Every stack placement matters, and efficiently completing multiple projects at once creates highly satisfying combos that maximize your admire actions. Beneath its peaceful atmosphere lies a deeply engaging optimization experience that constantly encourages smart planning and creative organization.

Naomi Lord’s beautiful illustrations bring warmth and personality to every aspect of the game. Between browsing bookstores, managing your social battery, and arranging colorful book stacks, A Place for All My Books transforms a familiar hobby into a wonderfully immersive strategy board game experience.

You will likely enjoy A Place for All My Books (EN) if you appreciate relaxing but thoughtful games like Calico, Cascadia, Verdant, or Isle of Cats. Fans of puzzle board games, spatial organization, and wholesome themes will find an experience that is both comforting and strategically satisfying.

It also includes a fully developed solo mode where players compete against Penelope Eveready, an energetic rival constantly trying to grab the best books first.
