The second installment of the Gameshouse, a mesmerising tale of a mystical gambling house whose deadly games of chance and skill control the fate of empires. The Gameshouse is an unusual institution. Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost though games of Chess, Backgammon - every game under the sun.

In 1930s Bangkok, one higher league player has just been challenged to a game of hide and seek.

The three installments of the Gameshouse are also available in a single edition. Less
