Effect & use

Resolve its card effect immediately when taking it, including any resulting knock-on effects. Keep the card on your House Player Board until you exchange it for a Defence Shield.

Where to find it / how to resolve it

When your pawn visits the Library and you do not already have a Library Book Card, choose one of the two face-up book cards on the Side Board. Refill the emptied book space face-up from its deck.

Restrictions & timing

  • A House Player can hold only one Library Book Card at a time.
  • The effect is immediate; it is not a spell kept for a later Explore Action.

House players need a Library Book, Scroll and the shield's specified Detector or D.A. Coin. A pawn must reach that shield to exchange items. Two shields win; see the shield guide.

One Library Book Card. One Parchment Scroll. Either the Dark Detector or a D.A. Coin, matching that shield's symbol.

  1. · 1.6.0
    Consistent terms, section search and two-side teaching

    Unified 35 sourced English–Chinese terms and registered all three open rule questions. Search and guide backlinks now lead to matching sections in the current language. Added card-flow diagrams, conditional Dark Arts lessons and exact movement allowances alongside the five existing House comparisons. Unknown rules, routes, card effects and future draws remain unfilled.

    Content quality work in this revision

    Added a 24-category component catalogue, nine sourced card examples and a rechecked Alohomora entry; the catalogue remains an identified sample rather than a complete Acquire Deck. Added a complete setup and first-round walkthrough with a player-count checklist, cross-links across all eight guides, reference information boxes, a clarification register, page-specific history and local correction drafts. This records reviewed preview content, without announcing the custom-domain launch.
