GAME PLAY
Players compete by "attaching" books to one another, attempting to gain as many points as possible. To attach and detach a book, the player must have the "key" for the book.
- Go to the library and find a book.
- Write down the call number, title and key for the book and enter this information in the Attach Book page.
- Choose another player as a target by clicking on their name. To attach the book, click "Attach."
- The book will show up on the target's card.
- Once the book is attached, you gain a point and the target loses a point. (You cannot attach a book to yourself!)
You can attach as many books to as many players as you want.
- Go to the library, find the book that is attached to you and identify the key.
- Click "Detach" on your card, and enter the book's key. If you've found the right key, the book will be removed from your card and you can then attach it to another player.
- Once you detach the book, you gain a point and the attaching player loses a point.
- If the key doesn't work, you can use the validation process.
Every now and then, a key doesn't work. This happens when your key doesn't match the given key. When a key doesn't work, you can ask for it to be validated by a third player.
To start the process, go to the Validation page and enter in the key you think is correct. This will cause the book to appear in the Bonus Points Section on the Circulation page. Another player must then find the book and enter in the key. If that player's key matches either of the other two keys, the matching key is validated.
The player who validates the key gets two bonus points and can then attach the book to another player.
