Product Description In Ex Libris, you are a collector of rare and valuable books in a thriving fantasy town. The Mayor has just announced a new seat in the Village Council, Grand Librarian. The prestigious and lucrative position will be awarded to the citizen with the most extraordinary library! Unfortunately, several of your book collector colleagues (more like acquaintances, really) are also candidates. To outshine your competition, you’ll 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’ll need to beat your opponents to them when they pop up - especially if they match your library’s secret focus! You only have a few days before the Mayor’s Official Inspector comes to judge your library, so be sure your assistants have all your books shelved in time! She is a tough cookie and will use her Official Inspection Form to grade your library on several criteria including alphabetical order, shelf stability, prominent works, and variety. And don’t think she’ll turn a blind eye to books the Council has banned! You’ll need shrewd planning, cunning tactics, and perhaps a little magic to surpass your opponents and become Grand Librarian! Directions To play Ex Libris, you must first choose one of the 12 unique booksellers available. Then each player must send their trusted assistants to the locality to find the most impressive tombs and expand their personal library. Sources for the best books are scarce, so you'll have to hit your opponents when they get up, especially if they match your library's secret approach. The official mayor of the inspector office will arrive in a few days to fail your library, so make sure your assistants have all of your books stuck in time. It is a sturdy cookie, and will use your official inspection form to classify your library into various criteria including alphabetical order, shelf stability, prominent jobs and variety. And do not think that you will close your eyes to the books that the Council has banned. You'll need stitching planning, cunning tactics and perhaps a little magic to outperform your opponents and become Grand Librarian!
