Reading Week has arrived, and it’s the most terrifying time in the Unseen University calendar! Panicked wizards-in-training have stormed the Library in a last-minute frenzy of panic-studying, and naturally, everything has gone horribly wrong!
Shelves are empty, rogue tomes are on the prowl, carnivorous books are hunting in packs, and the students themselves are... Ah, well... being students.
As one of the Assistant Librarians of the Unseen University, it’s your thankless duty to restore order: rescue those wandering trouble-magnets while wrangling the wayward books, and get them out of the Library and on their way to their exams, all while navigating L-Space and coping with a worrying shortage of bananas.
GAMEPLAY
On your turn, you move to different locations to reshelve runaway books by collecting book cards. You can also play these cards to take extra actions: strengthen your book collections, move more efficiently through L-Space, rescue students faster, or bring Faculty Members to your location to gain bananas, which you can offer to the Librarian in exchange for his help!
Complete section tiles on your own or together with other players to earn cards, bananas, and most importantly, to rescue those helpless students.
Once you’ve gathered a group of students, lead them to the exit. Be the first to usher out enough of them to win the Librarian’s favour... and the game!
