So you’ve grabbed a new game, eh? Or did you finally get your eager hands on that expansion you’ve been waiting on all year? Well now the real game starts— how on Earth will you fit it into your alphabetized, colour coordinated and divinely crafted new board game shelf? Well, what does it really matter? It’s probably going to just sit there in shrink wrap for the next six months anyway — sorry, too real? Let’s just move on then...

In Shelfie Stacker, players will compete to accumulate the most illustrious board game collection, by carefully filling their shelf with their most recent purchases.

The game is played over 7 rounds. Every round, groups of 3 dice are randomly rolled and placed into piles. These dice represent different groups of board games. From their hand of 8 action cards, players must pick 1 card to play facedown. These cards will not only determine turn order, but also give a one-time ability to help players better stack their shelf.

There are specific rules around how dice may be placed into players' shelves, so careful planning is required. At the end of 7 rounds, the player with the best shelfie wins the game!
