Who is Penelope Eveready?

And why is her name now popping up consistently on all the books you had wanted to check out?

How is she getting the new releases that you reserved at the bookstore?

Without ever directly interacting with Penelope, you have found yourself with a rival! You can't help but feel the need to push yourself a little harder to get the jump on her.

When playing the solo mode, Penelope is represented by her meeple in town... but with her extrovert 'superpowers', Penelope never needs to go home and recharge her social battery. Instead, she hangs out in town all she wants, laughing and having a good time without a care in the world. (It's the worst.)

Penelope's actions are determined by the action lines on Rival cards, and her score is determined by her total collection at the end of the game. If you finish with more points than Penelope, you win!

However, you can lose the game immediately if the Rival deck is empty and Penelope is unable to draw a card!
