About the game

What you do in a play session

Libraria is an abstract strategy game for two players where you take on the role of librarians in a fierce battle for control over the books on the shelf. But watch out for the mice, who love a literary snack! The board is set up with 25 random tiles, ensuring each game is unique. Players place their color markers on the tile intersections, and when the board is full (18 markers per player), it's time to count points. Whoever has the majority of corners on a tile scores the books inside. Mice, however, are worth -1 point each. If you completely dominate a tile, the points gained or lost are doubled! Libraria is fast, easy to learn, but packed with strategic decisions that will test your mind.
