EXPLORE THE ENTIRE SERIES: this game is part of our bestselling Shakespeare range illustrated by Adam Simpson, including The World of Shakespeare: 1000-piece Jigsaw Puzzle and Shakespeare Playing Cards

Journey from Stratford to London in the footsteps of the world's best loved playwright, collect performance cards and move around London's theatres to put on as many plays as you can before other playwrights steal your ideas, burn down your theatres or spread the plague! Who will be the fastest in the race to fame and glory? The tension comes from being forced to balance greed against speed: should you stage lots of smaller performances for quick money, or wait for the right cards to generate a smash hit? The winner is the first to earn £120, enough to buy Shakespeare’s home, New Place, in Stratford Upon Avon – or the first to finance a new theatre on the Southbank (the Globe), and stage a medley performance there, winning in one fell swoop. While you play, you will absorb details of Elizabethan England as well as learn references to Shakespeare's plays. Players can use their growing Shakespeare knowledge to play event cards that result in added drama and sabotage.

The Shakespeare Game continues in the tradition of Laurence King’s art-led gifts and games, featuring high-quality illustrations and components including: a board map of Elizabethan London, 86 illustrated cards, 48 tokens and 6 Shakespeare playing pieces, plus a 28-page booklet packed with information about Shakespeare’s plays, as well as the historical places featured in the game. —description from the publisher
