Gamebook is a collection of abstract strategy board games designed for you to explore, read, play and enjoy!
The box for game pieces is also the book’s backbone that holds the pages together with magnetic binding. Every page is simply plucked out when you want to play!
The booklet History & Rules is included on the back page of the book. You can pluck it out and read it separately so it won’t disturb the game flow of the game you’re playing.
Assemble four boards of the Gamebook to create a new board game specially designed and developed for this edition!
Have you ever heard of: Alquerque, Stern-halma, Surakarta, Nine Men’s Morris, Pachisi, Tablut, Senet or Mū Tōrere?
We have searched the rich history of board games for untold stories. We believe that games have always been an important tool for human social interaction, and Gamebook is designed to encourage this!
Senet
is a 5000-year old board game for two players. This board game was found in many ancient Egyptian tombs. Senet is a kind of talisman for the journey of the dead. The winner is the first to pass into the afterlife.
