Greetings, player, and prepare yourselves for a journey unlike any other - a journey through the world of games. Enter a realm where a man falls in love with a playing card and a game of Scrabble has deadly consequences, a place where reality and virtual reality blur into one and the same. In these pages, the moves of a chess piece can signal the difference between life and death, rioting has become a huge national sport and the players lose themselves in games of their own devising. Featuring stories by Allen Ashley, Adam Craig, Charlie Fish, Diotima Sophia, Sandra Unerman, Jay Wilburn, Jason D Wittman and many more.
