• Pay 1, 3, or 6 Social Battery according to the shelf's size. , , or .

The Bookstore is a great place to get Books. During setup, the three Shelves of the Bookstore (along the top edge of the Village board) were stocked with a Little Project card and a number of Book tiles drawn at random from the bag.

The amount of Books offered on the shelves - and which shelf has the most Books - will change throughout the game, but there will always be a shelf with the Smallest, Medium, and Largest number of Books.

When you visit the Bookstore, you will choose one of the three Shelves and pay the listed Social Battery (1, 3, or 6 - for the Largest pile of Books). After paying, take the Little Project card and all the Book tiles from this Shelf. Add the card to your hand and the Books to your backpack (see Backpack Rules).

Then immediately restock the Shelves by replacing the Little Project card with a new draw, AND add 1 random Book tile from the bag to each shelf. This assures that there's always a Smallest, Medium, and Largest Shelf.

Example

The player pays 3 Battery and takes the Medium size pile.

Restock the card and add one random Book to each Shelf.

4 PLAYERS - When playing with 4 players, note the following changes:

The Bookstore has two spaces instead of just one. The left space can only access the Bookstore Shelves on the left and middle, and the right space can only access the Bookstore Shelves on the right and middle.

If your meeple is on one Bookstore space, you cannot assign it to the other space on your next turn. You must take a different action.

Each space is considered separate. You are only "nudged out" of a space to the Park (see Park Rules, p 7) if an opponent assigns their meeple to your specific space.
