📖Monk Took Book
Hundreds of unlabeled books, one medieval library, and a filing system your monks are making up as they go.
Cozy-creepy co-op for up to four: sort and shelve a haunted library's worth of books that have pictures instead of titles, which means the whole group has to agree on an organizing system nobody wrote down. Wilmot's Warehouse energy wrapped in a slightly unsettling first-person monastery. Released September 3, 2026 to Very Positive reviews (98% of early ratings) — a rare low-stakes pick that still rewards a group actually talking to each other.

Quickstart
How to actually play this with friends — written by Claude.## Set it up - Four players, one haunted library, every spine labeled with a picture instead of a title - Before anyone touches a shelf, agree out loud on a sorting logic — by color, by subject, whatever — the game hands you none - Keep voice chat open for the whole session; this is a talking game wearing a tidying game's clothes
## Your first session - Spend the first twenty minutes just reading spines aloud to each other before anyone actually shelves a book - Pick one person to own the master filing system and call out exceptions — four independent systems collapse by hour two - Don't let the slightly-off monastery atmosphere spook anyone into rushing; it's cozy-creepy on purpose and it won't stop you working
## Group size advice - Built around four — the whole joke is reconciling four different mental models of "organized" - Fine solo or as a pair for a quieter, more meditative version with a lot less arguing
