Rebuilding Alexandria, One Game at a Time

I'm a real-life public librarian with a focus on curating unique games; games that stand apart from their peers through original design, mechanics, or perspectives. In my writeups, I'll try and highlight what exactly this is. In other words: if you could write a thesis on it, it's good for curating. This means that some amazing games will be excluded because they are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, and some rougher gems will be highlighted for their ambition and innovation.

I tend to focus on games that are interested in storytelling and worldbuilding (either scripted or procedural) but you'll see other stuff curated as well.

If you want more details on a curated game or have any questions, feel free to ask.
