About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to take your board game passion anywhere with Gamelib Pocket! Think of it as a miniature game library, perfectly sized to fit in your pocket and accompany you on trips, holidays, or even during your lunch break. The brilliant idea is that it comes with a set of super versatile components – 54 cards, 40 wooden cubes, 2 meeples, and 4 dice – which, combined, bring a vast number of games to life. These are over 100 elements ready to be mixed and matched, transforming into classics you already know or entirely new creations. The concept is that, over the course of a year, new rules will be released weekly, further expanding the range of possibilities. The beauty of Gamelib Pocket lies in its simplicity and flexibility. The components are generic and minimalist, meaning they adapt to any type of game you can imagine. The initial setup also changes with each game, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same. If you enjoy the idea of having a multitude of games in one place, without taking up space in your luggage or on your shelf, and you also love the thrill of rolling dice and cleverly using cards, Gamelib Pocket is your ideal new companion. It guarantees fun for those who love to explore and adapt to different challenges!
