About The Author
Gyles Brandreth
Gyles Brandreth is the UK expert on all indoor games. In fact, he says modestly, he knows more about games than anyone else on the planet. He was conceived as a result of his father buying the first game of Monopoly sold in Britain, he later became European Monopoly champion, he founded the National Scrabble Championship, he has been on the word and numbers TV game Countdown since it started thirty years ago, and he features regularly on radio panel games like Just a Minute and Wordaholics. Gyles has written nearly 100 books covering card games, mazes, word puzzles, family games and children’s games. His great-great-grandfather published a book of games in 1865 and games have played a big part in the Brandreth family life ever since, as his daughter Saethryd and grandson Rory can attest.
