For the last featured game of 2025, we are happy to be playing A Place for All My Books, the prestigious 2025 Barnes & Noble Game of the Year. This “puzzley, cozy, and wondrous” strategy game is a love letter to bookworms and celebrates the introverted joy of curating, organizing, and expanding a personal library.
Players act as book collectors managing their apartment’s shelves over nine rounds.
- At Home: You use 130 gorgeous, full-color wooden book tiles to complete “Little Projects”. These involve stacking and arranging books according to specific patterns on your cards.
- Social Battery: Every action taken at home—sorting, reading, or resting—recharges your “Social Battery”.
- In the Village: Once you have enough social battery, you head out to the bookstore, library, or thrift shop to spend that energy on new treasures for your collection.
It offers a relaxing yet “brain burny” experience where the challenge lies in optimizing your moves to complete multiple projects simultaneously. Whether you are a seasoned strategist or a casual gamer, the rules are easy to learn, and no prior experience is necessary because we’ll tech you how to play!
