Description

Gaming History Meets Bathroom Reader!

Did you ever wonder:

♞ What makes Clue the best movie based on a game franchise?

♝ What does the doubling cube in backgammon do?

♜ How trains are even supposed to operate in Ticket to Ride: Antarctica?

♛ How the designer of the board game Pandemic feels now that he's living through an actual global pandemic?

♚ Whatever happened to the Monopoly game show from the 90s?

Based on Ranker's poll of almost 400,000 votes, these games define us.

That game is a blight upon this list and mankind as a whole. Excuse me.

What I'm trying to say is that I wrote this book about games, and I thought you might like it.
