Card game:Im Marchenwald | In The Enchanted Forest

In 2007 librarians and gamers Christopher Harris and Brian Mayer began an innovative program at the School Library System of Genesee Valley Boces, servicing the school libraries of twenty-two small, rural school districs in Western New York. The two utilized designer games, also known as Euro-games, chosen to "address specific local, state, and national curriculum standards across many content areas..." Growing from a small initial investment, the library game loan program met with success from its start and has grown since that time. The two authored "Libraries Got Game: Aligned Learning Through Modern Board Games" in 2010, describing the details of the project and its success as a teaching tool. This designer game is part of a donation from the School Library System from its inventory of games.
