Every Monday in the G2 section of the Guardian, there is a cut out and keep page containing a compendium of all the reviews of the past week’s major cultural events. All of the major daily and Sunday broadsheets’ reviewers and their reviews are collated and pulped into snappy soundbites. I suspect this has been created to help out a person of an intellectual bent if they are asked for an opinion on a film, play or art installation they have somehow missed. |

“Imagine that as a Sun headline: ‘Ambiguous Boardgame Subverts the Accepted Paradigm by Refusing to Offer Answers!’ Looking back, I’m not surprised that they went for the angle they did.” But then, Andy Tompkins and Andy Sheerin could hardly have anticipated anything but vitriol when they started taking orders for War On Terror – The Board Game.
