Remember when you were a kid & 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
- & asked 76 000 people if they fancied a game. This is the story of what happened next. Dave was up for anything & gamely played them at whatever they chose. He played some classics
- Monopoly Scrabble dominoes & cribbage. He played many games he'd never heard of before
- Khet Kubb Tikal or Smite anyone? He played board games & physical games. He's thrown sticks balls frisbees & darts. He's rolled dice & he's drawn cards. From Liverpool to Hampstead & from Croydon to Nottingham Dave travelled the length & breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places
- their homes at work in the back rooms of pubs
- & 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 & met all sorts of people
- & it turns out us Brits are a competitive bunch. & 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.
