 I specialise in
indoor games (card games, board games, word games)
as a freelance inventor, writer, historian and
consultant. Sometimes I even get round to playing
them. |
 My best-known board game, Hare &
Tortoise, has sold over 3 million copies since
first published in 1974 and was the first ever
winner of Germany's Game of the Year award. |
 My books include the
Penguin Book of Card Games (now available on Kindle), the Oxford History of Card Games, and the
Oxford History of Board Games. |
| I also give talks and run workshops on the history, theory and appreciation of games, advise on the staging of games in period films and TV productions, and am a consultant on games terminology to the Oxford English Dictionary. |  This site lists all my books,
games and film/TV credits and includes some on-line
games. Some pages are devoted to other of my
interests. Click globe (left) for site map, or pick
