About this book 

Fire your imagination with these fun storytelling cards. Reviving the Victorian craze for ‘myrioramas’, the 20 picture cards can be placed in any order to create seamless scenes. Almost infinite combinations of cards provide endless storyscaping possibilities.  

London, 1900. A brilliant scientist leaves the world above to create his own world below, determined to prove his radical theory – that gravity is a geometric property of spacetime. What happens when time is bent, space is collapsed and dimensions overlap? Descend into the shadow world to find out.  

With many games to play and millions of stories to tell, each turn of the card is a new adventure. Where will the story take you?

Reviews from Around the World

"We’d say that the The Shadow World is half game, half work of art, but in truth the split is more like 25:75, with four simple game variants playing second fiddle to Shan Jiang’s wonderfully evocative art on the score of thick tarot-style cards, packed with wormholes, werewolves, giant cyclopean robots and genteel automated ladies." - Dave Axbey
