About the game
Description from the publisher: Fire! The Great Library, the world's most complete archive of knowledge and wisdom is on fire! As books and relics are consumed by the flames, you must make a choice over what to save - some artifacts are more valuable to you than others, and your fellow heroes may have different priorities than you - and some may even be trying to burn books! In Alexandria, 2-4 players must use a limited supply of time to move through the burning corridors of the Great Library, looking for scrolls, items and even scholars that they can save. Each round, up to four rooms of the library will surrender to the flames, and anything in them will be lost! Will you use your time wisely to preserve ancient knowledge, or will your opponents get the best of you? In Alexandria, every second counts, and you are running out of seconds...

Questions and answers
Alexandria supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Alexandria is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Alexandria for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Alexandria has a complexity rating of 2.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Alexandria belongs to these categories: Exploration, Adventure, and Ancient. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Modular Board. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Alexandria are: Babis Giannios. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
