{"product_id":"2940169702231","title":"Dave Gorman Vs the Rest of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemember 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 \u003ci\u003elikes\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDave 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe played board games and physical games. He's thrown sticks, balls, frisbees and darts. He's rolled dice and he's drawn cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe'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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47162007912688,"sku":"2940169702231","price":13.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169702231_p0.jpg?v=1763691317","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169702231","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
