Ex Libris 2nd Edition

Picture a fantasy village where books are the most valuable possession of all. The mayor has just announced a new seat on the village council: that of Grand Librarian. This honourable title goes to the resident with the most remarkable book collection. In Ex Libris 2nd Edition you are one of those collectors, and your rivals want that seat just as badly as you do. To stand out from the rest, you send your loyal helpers into the streets to get hold of the most beautiful volumes. The best places to find them are scarce, so you have to be quick before someone else snatches them up. Especially when it comes to books that match your library's secret theme. Every turn is about being just a little faster and cleverer than the player next to you. But watch out: the Official Inspector drops by to judge your collection. She takes a strict look at alphabetical order, whether your shelves are about to topple, which showpieces you own and how varied your collection is. And banned books? She spots those right away. With good planning, a bit of cunning and maybe some magic, you stand a chance of becoming Grand Librarian. If you would rather play on your own, there is a solo mode too.
