Fire in the Library

The library is engulfed in flames, and every second counts! In Fire in the Library, players take on the role of librarians racing to save precious books before the building collapses. On your turn, venture into the burning library to rescue books and earn Knowledge and Bravery Points, but be careful—the more you push your luck, the greater the chance of getting caught in the flames.

Players can use special Tool Cards to influence their chances, protect themselves, or change the situation to their advantage. Each round, another section of the library burns, bringing the game closer to its dramatic conclusion. Knowing when to take one more risk and when to escape safely is the key to earning the most points and becoming the library’s greatest hero.
