Finalist for Dicebreaker’s RPG of the Year 2023

On a River, you are a bookseller, paddling your floating bookshop up and downstream to various towns along the Riverbank. How did you come across the bookshop? Was it gifted to you or did you happen to chance upon it?

Your days are filled with customers, leaks and the irritating nook beetles that bury into the pages of your books. Make friends with regular customers to the bookshop, experience the River as she moves through the different seasons, visit and explore various towns, go fishing in the River’s rich waters. Throughout the year, the seasons change and holidays give the chance for you to join in celebrations and festivities with the animalfolk. Floating Bookshop is set in a fully formed world with its own unique seasons, holidays and customs.

Floating Bookshop is a solo journalling game played with a pack of playing cards, a 20 and 6 sided dice. Record your daily goings-about in the bookshop, make note of the weather, and the customers that both delight and annoy you.
