It's all Mark Sarvas's fault for pointing to what seems to be Darryl Hannah's brand-new career move -- board game designer:

"I met Daryl about 10 years ago," [SimplyFun CEO Gail] DeGiulio said. "She brought Liebrary in, and I thought it was a wonderful game. At the time, the company I was with was not able to publish it."

But, DeGiulio said, the game "stuck with me for many years. So when we started SimplyFun, we contacted Daryl to ask if she still had the game and if she had licensed the rights to anyone. She had not."

SimplyFun developed the game over a period of six months, and the result is a large-format game that would look right at home on a coffee table. The weathered-looking cover and classic-feeling font make the game look like an old leather-bound novel. Dickens, perhaps, or Twain.

"The game looks like Daryl and Hilary [Shepherd] said they had imagined it," DeGiulio said. "It has the feel, almost, of being a piece of art."

Funny, that's not what the 4 minute instructional video seemed to indicate...

As it happens, Liebrary is not Hannah & Shepherd's first board game effort, as back in 1995, Tyco released Love It or Hate It, a party game.
