Description

The board shows a wheel of Shakespeare's plays, split between the Comedies, Tragedies and Histories. Played in teams, you must get your pawns on 3 each by successfully completing quotes from the categories. Not guessing leads to miming. There are 37 plays, so you'd better know your Pericles from your Troilus & Cressida. The game includes a biography and digest of the plays and is supported by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
