Tidy Up Your Kallax In Cranio Creations’ My Shelfie Board Game

September 22, 2022 by brennon

Cranio Creations has joined forces with Matthew Dunstan and Phil Walker-Harding to bring us a board game all about being neat and tidy whilst showing off your collection of "stuff". This should be very familiar to any hobbyist and particularly board gamers with their heaving kallax units!

Featuring beautiful artwork from Shannon Grosenbacher and Sara Valentino, My Shelfie is a game all about putting in the effort to show off your books, board games, portraits and more. You've just got your new bookshelf set up and now it's time to pack it with goodies!

During a game of My Shelfie, you will take one, two or three item tiles from a central living room board and then place them onto your own 3D shelf so that they form a straight line and are adjacent to existing tiles in play. The idea behind placing these tiles showing the different items is to fulfil the personal goal cards that you have in front of you and the common goal cards that are represented in the middle of the table.

Match the illustrations on the goal cards and you'll score victory points. Connect item tiles of the same design and you'll also net yourself some sweet victory points as well! The player who fills all of their spaces triggers the end game and from that point on you'll tot up the points that you've accumulated throughout the game and see who is either the tidiest or the best at cramming stuff onto shelves!

The changing goal cards from game to game and the way that the tiles come out at random onto that central board should make this a fun puzzle to try and solve. As a fan of games like Dream Home and Barenpark, I am not averse to slotting tiles into place and making pleasing patterns.

Are you tempted to snap up My Shelfie when it becomes available at Essen SPIEL this year and in the weeks after more widely?
