If there's one thing my family has a lot of, besides games, it's books. Nearly every open wall in our house is lined with book shelves. Some have games on them, but most have books. Our friends say we're like our own little library. One of our greatest fears is a fire in the house. How would we choose which books to save? They're all precious!
Well, in Fire in the Library our worst fears are turned into a game. That's great, because I wouldn't want to have to rescue burning books in any other way. You can learn more about Fire in the Library below, or check it out on Kickstarter today!

Fire in the
Library is on Kickstarter Now!
Carla and Nick Kopp of Weird Giraffe Games, creators of
Super Hack Override and Stellar Leap are back with their next project, Fire in
the Library! The Kickstarter will close
on April 12th, so make sure to check it out before that!
Many different groups of play testers, including other game
designers, all agree that Fire In The Library is a great experience. The
Kickstarter campaign will feature the game at $19, plus shipping with $5 US shipping,
$10 Canada, Australia and EU Friendly shipping, and $15 shipping to the rest of
the world.
About the game:
Fire in the Library is a
press-your-luck game from Weird Giraffe Games by Tony Miller and John Prather
with art by Beth Sobel and Katie Khau.
Players use shear
bravery and some nifty tools to dash into a burning library to become known
throughout the world as the librarian that saved the most knowledge. Each round
Players decide when to play it save for guaranteed points or risk it all to try
to save more books. Players must choose the best moment to use their tools as
no one can anticipate when the library will collapse and end the game
immediately.
Easy to Learn: Simple enough for kids to play and enjoy, with depth
and strategy that will keep serious gamers coming back.
Increasing Intensity: Books increase in value all the way until the
end but no one knows who will take the last turn. Players must decide if they
should save tools for an epic late game point swing or grab points now to take
an early lead.
AI Variants: Experience the excitement of Fire in the Library on
your own with the solo game or spice up a multi-player match by adding new
challengers.

burning—Take chances, Be brave, SAVE BOOKS!

What they
are saying about Fire In The Library:
“If you don’t like press your luck games, it is only because you have
never played Fire in the Library. It is simple and yet strategic, quick and yet
full of depth.”
"Fire
in the Library has just the right blend of theme, luck mitigation, and tension
in it to make me reconsider this type of game. With the ability to play up to
six players and the short length it takes to play, this is a fun little gem
that I have played with several different groups of people, and they have all
asked to immediately play it again.”
"The
solitaire mode shows off just how strategic the gameplay in Fire in the Library
can be. Based on my experience, I wouldn't be surprised if Fire in the Library
sets Kickstarter on fire!”
"Fire
in the Library is a tight, fun game that only gets better with more players.
The theme really resonates with the pushyour-luck mechanics and as a librarian
I can totally confirm that its 100% realistic. Save the books!“
“Fire in the Library is a solid
game and very well polished. Setup is quick, start to finish is about 30
minutes and it can be played solo or with up to six players. If this game was
being released by a major publisher, I have no doubt it would be a trending
topic in gaming circles as a must-have title. Don't let the fact it's a smaller
publisher deter you from wanting to get this into your game library.”
"Many problems I've
encountered with press-your-luck games is they tend to carry little or no
strategy. Thankfully Fire in the Library provides a great balance of luck and
strategy, making it a great filler game for both new and seasoned
gamers."
