Monasteries

In the Middle Ages, monasteries were communities of monks or nuns that lived together in buildings mostly outside the main towns. They dedicated themselves entirely to prayer, work, and studying. Characterized by their gigantic libraries, monasteries were important centers for education, civilization, and overall knowledge.

Biblios is your game!

The entire game is highly strategic, and you'll have to make lots of decisions all the time. You'll have to pick the card you'll keep, and the ones you'll send to the public space or the auction, and everything has a consequence. One bad choice might just make you lose a valuable category or money card to the public space. You'll truly have to consider your options.

For instance, you might have to take a few chances and send a good card to the auction if you believe you can buy it later on, but that is definitely a risk and demands some planning. You'll also need time to learn this strategy, but it is quite rewarding. More specifically, waiting for that card that is in the auction and finally getting it is quite rewarding.

Choosing which categories you want to keep and which ones you'll give it up also involves a lot of focus and will make everything a bit more exciting. The choices you'll need to make in Biblios make it quite exciting.

Play with your friends and family and keep reminding them of the consequences of their choices. They'll eventually learn and be able to reflect on these teachings every day - and their decision-making skills will improve.

Biblios is a lot of fun and is a lesson in strategy and decision-making!

I strongly recommend Biblios to your collection!!!
