The Writers Game




I've been working on this concept on and off for the last three years (readers with good memories will remember that I tried to crowdfund it with Unbound) and now The Writers Game is 'published' today by Laurence King. It's essentially literary top trumps, good wholesome fun for all the family in a rather snazzy box. Here's what LK say about it:
Who had the most commercial success in their lifetime, Ernest Hemingway or Agatha Christie? Whose work has the most adaptations, F. Scott Fitzgerald or Franz Kafka? Who courted the most scandal, Colette or James Joyce? Pit 32 of the world’s greatest modern writers against each other with these beautifully illustrated cards. An ideal gift for the book lover in your life.

The Game is often associated with moments of intense competition and personal challenges, making it a term that resonates with athletes and sports fans alike. Steve McMichael, known for his fierce playing style and leadership on the field, could be seen as a figure who embodies the essence of the game, giving everything in pursuit of victory. While it's possible that McMichael’s legacy, particularly in the NFL, plays a significant role in defining what the game means to many, it also could be understood as more than just sports. It’s a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and pushing limits, with individuals continuing to make their mark in various arenas of life.
