The Spirit Library
A downloadable game
You work at the Spirit Library where spirits are brought to you in jars. Your job is to catalogue and classify each spirit and label them with your observations. You will encounter evil spirits of old kings or tricky tree nymphs or even the smallest spirits of insects.
This is a simple solo game played with a pack of cards, a coin and a method to label the jars. It can be used as a supplement to generate spirits when playing other games.
There is a template at the end of the game for you to print and use as a label.

Hi, I'd like to print a copy of this game in booklet form on parchment colored paper as part of a gift. Would it be possible to get a version of the PDF without the background color? Thanks!
I exported and edited the game. Let me know if you'd like me to share the booklet format file.
Lovely concept. I'm thinking of making a gift package of this game with a set of interesting empty jars and bottles, a collection of solar powered fairy light lids and stoppers, and miscellaneous bits and bobs (e.g. beads, small silk flowers, buttons, charms, found objects). The player would be able to create jars to represent some of the spirits they are cataloguing, and line them up on a windowsill. At night they will glow for a few hours. I would include a printed version and a journal with an interesting (possibly hand-made) cover. I have a niece in mind for this gift. I could write up more extensive directions on how to make a kit and how it would relate to the game rules if there is interest.
Hi! I went to print it recently, but I can't seem to find the card/label template anymore. I remember seeing at some point in the past, but I don't think I can find it in the current file, would you let me know if I am just clueless, or it's gone?
Whoops, I think when I updated the files I forgot to include the label templates! I've added it now.
Yay, thank you!
Great game with a really simple premise, can't wait to try and use it to flesh out some other para/witchy games.
Hi, can this be played solo? thx
Yes!
