Welcome to the fantastical world of Caraval. This is a place and a game and a company that defies classification. It arrives with little forewarning and reality is left behind as soon as you begin to play. The only rule that you must remember, is that this is all a ruse... 
 What a bizarre and bewildering read this was! I was completely thrown by how nonsensical and yet how alluring this tale was. The world and the players of Caraval truly were unique and I found myself completely immersed in the unfathomable mystery that haunted this book. 
 Whilst I preferred the first curios portion of the story to the later, more romantically inclined, parts, the ending pulled the whole thing back together again, creating as many more questions as it answered. I am now eagerly awaiting the second instalment for more peculiar adventures.
