Ex Libris: 2nd Edition

In Ex Libris, you are collecting rare and valuable books in hopes that the Mayor will appoint you as the village's Grand Librarian. Unfortunately, several of your book collector colleagues are also candidates.

You only have a few days before the Official Inspector comes to judge your library, so work with your trusty assistants to find the most impressive tomes and get them all shelved in time! She will grade your library on alphabetical order, shelf stability, prominent works, and variety. And don't think she'll turn a blind eye to the books the Village Council has banned!

You'll need shrewd planning, cunning tactics, and perhaps a little magic to surpass your opponents and become Grand Librarian!
