Did you ever wish you could collect rare books? In Codex Conquest: The Game of Book History <http://codexconquest.lib.uiowa.edu/>, YOU are the curator for a national collection, acquiring books from the 15th century onward while completing with other countries for the greatest collection, and contending with events that impact your library (fires, donations) along the way.
On April 24th and 25th, Amy Hildreth Chen, Special Collections Instruction Librarian at the University of Iowa and creator of Codex Conquest, will be coming to Columbia University to discuss the game creation process and demonstrate the game at multiple sessions. On Monday, April 24th, there will be three sessions of game play and a workshop on alternative methods of teaching hosted by the Center for Teaching and Learning. On April 25, we will discuss customization of the game, including a demonstration of a version tailored to Jewish book history. See here: https://blogs.cul.columbia.edu/rbml/2017/03/07/codex-conquest/ for dates, times, and locations. Note: If you're interested in the Jewish Book version of the game, you must register for the April 25 event. For questions, please be in touch! Michelle Chesner Columbia University
