Stopped by the reopened @folgerlibrary.bsky.social and found this adorable game at the gift shop that I can’t wait to play. Really loved the new exhibit spaces with all the collection’s treasures like folios of William Shakespeare’s work. #boardgames #folgershakespearelibrary #boardgaymer

Checking out #FolgerShakespeareLibrary this afternoon. Awesome first editions on display. Just spied #LordOfTheRings 1st & #TheWizardOfOz 1st.
