Anyone got a copy of Inside Job for sale? My digital group loves it & I'd love to get a copy of it to play with folks irl if someone had a cheap copy they were looking to get rid of.

well, the Library is on fire. We should put it out and save some knowledge while we're at it!

Fire in the Library has been one of my favorite games (solo or otherwise) since it joined my collection in late 2019. It was a birthday present to myself, a life's falling apart present to myself (Fall 2019 was when I departed academia), and it was one of my very first purchases for solo gaming. Over 6 years later, I still enjoy it, even if it doesn't hit my table as often as I'd like.

My original copy is quite well worn. I probably should have sleeved it. That said, back in 2019 I had no idea that card sleeves were such a common thing. And a well worn game isn't damaged. It's loved. And much like my copy of Friday, my original copy of Fire in the Library shows its age proudly. You can tell that both games live full lives and are played relatively often. These are not dust collectors.

I've held solo challenges for Fire in the Library here on BGG in the past. I even got to help proofread the 2nd edition of the game! Weird Giraffe Games is awesome. So are Carla Kopp, Tony Miller, and John Prather :geek_grin:.

I've got promos, upgraded components (including the book box!), and a copy of the 2nd edition too.

As part of the solo challenges, I concocted a bunch of fan promos:

I keep mostly everything together in the wooden box (but some upgrades are still in my original box too):

There are 2 different solo modes in the box, one where you play against a robot librarian and a beat-your-own-score variant called Lone Librarian that has always been my favorite way to play:

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, I sat down for my first play of Fire in the Library in quite some time (and my first play of it in 2026). Here's how things went:


Ready to save the day! (Or at least the Library!)


I love the Library! And yes, this sort of panoramic card design is what I'd love to see in Abydos, Charge the Circle, Nine Tails, and The 7th Seal...


I set these all aside for this play. But they'll be added back in the future.

Now, let's play!


Ready!


One of my favorite bags of all time :geek_heart:.


I play with the lasercut tokens. I just love them. And I don't care that 2 of the section icons are on the wrong color. Nope. Don't care. These are still one of most deluxe upgrades I have for any game and I love them. I will die on this hill. Seriously, absolutely love them. Cubes are fine. These are awesome.


Torch, one of the most useful Tools.


I was cautious at the start.


I always play purple.


A few embers...


Still cautious


I love a good Lockbox.


Still pretty safe.


Ut oh...


The Fire spreads


The Cloak is useful, but I pressed my luck too far.


Gloves are handy.


It could be worse...


Oh no!


Bucket brigade!


Banking on these being fireproof...


Another Bucket!


Sometimes even a Shovel can't help you...


Whew


Not looking good...


I better not press it...


Whew, my trusty Knapsack certainly helped!


As did my Map.


In the end, the Library survived!


As for my score..


122 points, just 3 points shy of a win. Not bad for my first play in a while 😜. I'm rusty. But that's easily fixed with some more time on the table!


My written session report in my gaming logbook


Not today, but that'll be me again soon :geek_grin:.

Happy Monday and happy playing!

A Bank Holiday PbV on Discord game of Star Wars: Tatooine Manhunt.

Gwazaza, my Wookie fighter, plus a rag-tag bunch of other Rebels get tasked to go recue a guy who went into hiding on Tatooine years ago, but who the Rebels could really use and who the Empire desperately want to capture.

We go to meet our source but she is killed. Her data chip leads us where we need to go.
We land on Tatooine, visit a bar in Mos Eisley to gain info then go to meet at a rendevous but are trapped in a water silo.
Once that is excaped from we have a speeder chase back towards town.
We catch up with them, rescuing a prisoner, who tells us where to find our target.
We head over there, start to chat, then his best friend turns on him so Gwazaza jumps and pummels the guy, then throws him at the Mandalorian Bounty Hunter who just entered the scene. A fire-fight ensues. The Manolorian lets off a wrist rocket, which Gwazaza dives in the path of so his friends don't take the blast, he then hobbles out, taking the target with him, while the others fight a retreat.
Stealing the Bounty Hunter's ship we fly back to our ship then take both ships and target back to the Rebels (the Rebels can have the Mandalorian's ship as a bonus!).

It was played to a lot of laughs, silly voices and banter. Much fun! 🙂
