Dave Gorman Vs The Rest Of The World

Remember when you were a kid, and you used to go round to a friend`s house to see if they were playing? Well, as adults we`re not supposed to do that. Which is a shame.. .because Dave Gorman likes playing. He Really likes games. So he knocked on the biggest door you could ever imagine - the internet - and asked 76, 000 people if they fancied a game. This is the story of what happened next. Dave was up for anything and gamely played them at whatever they chose. He played some classics - Monopoly, Scrabble, dominoes and cribbage. He played many games he`d never heard of before - Khet, Kubb, Tikal or Smite anyone? He played board games and physical games. He`s thrown sticks, balls, frisbees and darts. He`s rolled dice and he`s drawn cards. From Liverpool to Hampstead and from Croydon
to Nottingham, Dave travelled the length and breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places - their homes, at work, in the back rooms of pubs - and getting some hardcore game action. From casual players to serious game geeks, from the rank amateur to the world champion, he discovered a nation of gamers more than happy to welcome him into their midst.He`s travelled all around the country and met all sorts of people - and it turns out us Brits are a competitive bunch. And it seems that playing games can teach you a lot about what makes the British tick. Of course, Dave hasn`t been keeping score. Much.
