Wait? What’s going on?

Oh, it’s simple. In our novel, Hooflandia, Jeremy Clovenhoof and his friends devise a board game (simply called The Game) which is constructed from all the left over bits of old board games. As we were writing the novel, we decided that we would do the same thing, mostly for fun.

We built the board game and you can see the fun we had when we tried to play it.

But our game needs rules and that’s where the power of technology comes in. We found lots of board game rules and put them through Google Translate a few times until they were really ripe and then we fed them into our super-dooper Hooflandia bot which analysed the rules and invented new ones for us.

You can get some new rules just by refreshing the page.

Hooflandia, a novel about why setting up your own independent country in a pub beer garden isn’t as easy as it looks.
