About the Game

Where can I buy the game?

The game is currently available at The Game Crafter. However, I regularly place orders with them so if you live in Sweden and are interested in a copy, please feel free to contact me.

How does this game differ from the rest of the Nova Suecia games?

On Shelf is the most thematic games of the Nova Suecia games where each action simulates an everyday task of a store. However, on top of this are some common game mechanics (action retrieval, pick-up and deliver) that "gamifies" the experience.

What makes On Shelf different from other games?

The strong thematic link makes On Shelf unique. There is also a balance between cooperation and competition where a preparatory action may be taken advantage of by another player, forcing each player to time their action cards carefully.

About the Rules

Start by explaining the general flow of goods in the store, from stock to customer, and link each step to the action cards played by the players. Then go on explaining where the victory points come from (matching customer cards with items in shelves) and where customer cards come from (performing store tasks). Finally emphasize that played cards may only be retrieed by breaks and that the players should have customer cards at hand for rush hours.
