The game keeps back anything from a chapter you haven’t reached, like the rest of the site.

You are following the Slow Read, which begins with the Prologue on Saturday 10 October and reads a chapter a week. Read ahead? Choose the last chapter you have finished. The site hides anything from a chapter you have not reached; this is proof of reading, never of buying, and a library copy counts.

About the game

A trick-taking card game against the house. Follow suit by stroke, trump with a kept card, and score the struck ones at a reduced value. Rounds are seven tricks, and nothing is timed.
