The Books of Anuta

This is my entry into the Weird Giraffe Games 18 card game contest.
It is based on the lore of Fire in the Library.

2 or 3 players, 5 minutes, 18 cards.

As gifted scholars, you are working with Anuta the First, to gather books for the new Library.
Your search will span the 4 sections of knowledge: Fables, Geography, History and War. Each section has 4 or 5 levels of knowledge. Even though you are competing to gather the most knowledge, you must also respect the teachings of Anuta, and share the knowledge you have gathered.


The game is a mix of card drafting and set collecting. The rules are simple, with just 2 possible actions on each turn, but they open up a number of choices for strategic players.

This game is available to play on Tabletop Simulator.

Check out the full rules here: Rule Book

However, the sheer size was enough to cause me some hesitancy in taking that leap. Enter Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion. This game has essentially the same rules as the original, but in a more digestible format. It achieves this by slowly introducing the rules through 5 scenarios that serve as in-game tutorials. This is similar to modern video games, where you learn as you play. It is a great way to get you actually playing the game sooner, rather than needing to fully comprehend the entire rule book up front. As a co-op game, it suited playing it with my 10 year old. During lockdown, we were able to work our way through the entire campaign over a f...
