My Shelfie: The Dice Game condenses the cozy bookcase theme into a brisk roll-and-write. On each turn, the active player rolls six custom dice and may reroll twice before forming up to three combinations. Every player uses the result to circle matching objects on a personal shelf, but completing a row or column closes it to everyone else. Only sufficiently filled sections score, so each roll asks whether to chase a valuable space, secure a nearly complete line, or deny opponents the timing they need.
