Reviews
This edited collection broadens the horizon of what game studies can do. Through an in-depth investigation of a number of case studies around tabletop and board games, the volume provides an essential contribution to contemporary debates around materialism, agency, and the non-human. It is essential reading for students and scholars interested in exploring the complexities of game culture. * Paolo Ruffino, Senior Lecturer in Communication and Media, University of Liverpool, UK *
