A Place for All My Books – Bring order to bookish chaos and achieve victory.
In A Place for All My Books, every volume has a story... and a perfect spot in your home. Between the living room, study, and bedroom, you organize piles of books , complete personal projects, and find the ideal configuration before stopping to admire the results (and collect rewards!). Then, with renewed energy, you head out into the village in search of more titles to add to the collection. Because yes, there's always a place for another book .

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
Visit the village locations. In each round, players move around to collect books from the various available locations, expanding their collection.
Organize your bookshelf. Books should be arranged in different rooms of the apartment, forming piles that meet the requirements of your personal goals.
Admire your work. When the stacks are ready, you can "admire" them, earning victory points and a renewed energy boost to continue the game.
Optimize your combinations. The real challenge isn't organizing a single set, but completing multiple sets at the same time to maximize every play.
Take on Penelope alone. In single-player mode, you'll face Penelope Eveready, a tireless rival who will try to get the best books before you.

The secret art of organizing books… to win
A board game for 1-4 book lovers with (a little) patience and (a lot) of order
A Place for All My Books – Organize Your Bookshelf, One Stack at a Time
There's a magical moment in every reader's life: arranging books. Stacking, arranging, admiring.
In A Place for All My Books , every room is a logical challenge, every pile a little puzzle. The apartment is a wonderful chaos of volumes to organize, goals to achieve, and new books to desire.
The fatigue? Only apparent. Because when everything falls into place, you feel good inside .
And when Penelope Eveready—your lonely, unbearable rival—steals the last book you've ever wanted… the battle becomes personal.
A strategic puzzle game featuring shelves, rooms, and personal challenges.
A Place for All My Books is a strategic board game for 1-4 players , based on pattern building, worker placement and objective management mechanics.
Over the course of nine rounds , you'll visit locations in the village, collect books, and organize them optimally within an increasingly crowded apartment. Each room has different rules, and each stack allows you to perform "admire" actions, which convert order into victory points and energy.
Energy is essential : it allows you to go out, explore, and get new books… that is, if Penelope, your rival from the solo game, doesn't snatch them from you first.
With adorable illustrations by Naomi Lord , and gameplay perfect for those who love light but clever puzzle games , this title is a little collectible gem.
Suitable for families, casual gamers, and compulsive loners with a nerdy heart.
We saw it… and it made us want to tidy up the bookcase 🐸
It's a little gem. A Place for All My Books feels like filler, but it grips you in a strange way. It has the relaxing pace typical of organization games, but it forces you to think ahead, to maximize every turn .
Playing alone is perfect for a slow evening, and Penelope is unforgiving. With four of you, it almost becomes a race to find the best possible fit.
We recommend it to those who love clever puzzle games, cozy themes, and quiet challenges . Oh, and yes… if you love books , this is the game for you.
