Description

The Dickens Game is a charming board game that's perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and literary adventure. Published in 1983, this novel-based game was designed by Mary Danby, a great-great-granddaughter of the famous author Charles Dickens. The game is easy to learn, and a typical play session lasts around 30 minutes, making it a great option for a quick game night with friends or family. Players take turns rolling and moving through the game, visiting inns and collecting characters to complete the six chapters of a Dickens novel. As players progress, they'll need to collect the right set of characters to complete their novel, and the first player to do so wins the game. With its unique blend of roll and spin mechanics and set collection, The Dickens Game offers a fun and engaging experience that's sure to delight fans of Dickens and board games alike. Whether you're a literature lover or just looking for a new game to try, The Dickens Game is a great choice, and its short playtime makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule. So gather some friends, get ready to roll, and see who can be the first to complete their novel and win the game.
