Book Synopsis

"This game takes a minute to play – since you should never spend longer than a minute in a library on fire."

Looking for a different kind of challenge? Here’s a collection of rules and instructions – for games to play on your own, with friends or enemies, outside or in. Most are designed to be very short, but one or two may last a week, a month, or a lifetime.

There are role-playing games, dice games, creative games and battles, extracts from the likes of H. G. Wells and Charles Cotton as well as new work by contemporary writers.
But Roll Again is also an experiment in literary form – it includes texts which are more poem than game. It urges readers to dive into the ambiguous space between imagining and enacting, and in so doing rethink the meaning of everyday experiences.
