My Shelfie
My Shelfie review
My Shelfie is a cute and fun game that's perfect for a casual game night. The premise is simple: you're trying to create the best-organized shelfie by strategically placing item tiles onto your personal bookshelf. The game involves a bit of strategy, but it's not overly complicated, making it ideal for beginners. The variety of common and personal goal cards adds replayability, as each game feels different.
One thing I really enjoyed about the game is the beautiful artwork on the item tiles. It really does make you feel like you're tidying up your own shelves. The 3D bookshelf display is also a nice touch, and it adds a tactile element to the game.
However, I did encounter a few minor issues. Some reviewers have mentioned that the plastic shelves can come apart, which can be frustrating. I haven't personally experienced this problem, but it's something to keep in mind. Another issue mentioned is that the tiles can slide down and bunch up, making it difficult to play. This could be due to a faulty shelf or simply the weight of the tiles, but it's definitely something to consider if you're on the fence about purchasing the game. Lastly, the "living room" mat can get a bit messy as the game progresses, which can be distracting.
Overall, I'd recommend My Shelfie to anyone looking for a light and fun game to play with friends or family. It's not a complex game, but it's still engaging and enjoyable, and the beautiful artwork adds a nice aesthetic touch. Just be sure to check the shelf before you buy, and consider how messy you are comfortable with the living room mat getting.
