Bookshelf is the new game in Alley Cat Games' ever popular tin line. Players must work together to cooperatively stack books on top of a tower of cards. Cards have instructions on which books to place on top of it, and restrictions of where most of the books need to be placed. Don't be fooled though, placing books one at a time is harder than it initially looks! -description from the publisher
