But soon after the move, her daughter Ellen starts to withdraw when her new best friend, George, is unfairly expelled from school. Justine begs the head teacher to reconsider, only to be told that nobody's been expelled - there is, and was, no George. Then the anonymous calls start: a stranger, making threats that suggest she and Justine share a traumatic past and a guilty secret - yet Justine doesn't recognise her voice. When the caller starts to talk about three graves - two big and one small, to fit a child - Justine fears for her family's safety. If the police can't help, she'll have to eliminate the danger herself, but first she must work out who she's supposed to be...

What, a book of games that professes to require NO board, NO specialized pieces and components, and to be suitable for everyone? Yes, that is the intent. These rules are but a small sample of the game designs I have come up with over the years, numbering in their hundreds I am sure, many of which did involve creation of a custom board or game elements made from whatever I could find (cardboard boxes, wood scraps, business cards, and many other assorted flotsam). I have specifically selected this collection using three simple criteria: Very few rules which can rapidly be absorbed so that the game can be started right away A simple mechanic that can readily be understood by the whole family The minimum of game play components Volume 1: Pack Your Bags is a selected set of game rules specifically chosen for travelers to carry with them on their journey. Play in airports, on trains, in hotel rooms, anywhere you can find a small space to lay out a few cards and roll some dice. You will need: 1 deck of cards 3 6-sided dice (d6) one unique token for each player (coins would do) some scrap paper and a pen to keep score Happy traveling!
