Gamebooks
/ productsA gamebook is something between a book and a solo role-playing game. You decide the next step in your story. You navigate through the numbered sections of the text, pushing your character closer to your desired goal with every turn. It is entirely up to you whether you "run from the treacherous goblin by turning to 56", "charge at him with your sword drawn by turning to 128", or "cast a spell on the goblin by turning to 349".

A gamebook is a regular book, but instead of classic chapters, it is divided into individual numbered scenes. Each scene offers several outcomes, and based on simple rules, you decide how the plot continues. Most gamebooks place you in the role of the main hero. Winning such a game means successfully reaching the end of the story.
Different types of gamebooks have their own rules for combat or magic—the gaming element can be incorporated through various forms of chance (rolling dice during combat or picking a random number from a table). The books often feature puzzles, riddles, typographic tricks, and other interesting ideas to spice up your reading experience.
A leading publisher of gamebooks in the Czech Republic is currently Mytago, which has revived the legendary Lone Wolf series, published several titles from the Fighting Fantasy series, and also releases newly produced gamebooks, such as the phenomenal epic gamebook Rytíř temného slunce.
