About the game

Out of Sorts is a cooperative, real time game for 2-4 players that takes ~20mins. Many have tried and failed to organize the Alien's collection of inscrutable books, and you're the latest to be "recruited" to sort it out. Work together to organize these books and their strange symbols in a way you can remember before time runs out. Can you sort it out before you end up out of sorts? As a team, you’ll work together to sort as many books as you can (while remembering where they are) before time runs out. Each round you’ll get 5 new reference cards. You’ll race to find their matching Books and sort those with all the rest. At the end of the round, there’s a quiz. You don’t need to know exactly where things are, just where they are relatively. Fail too many quizzes and it's game over. -description from designer
