Smorgasboard is an unusual, semi-graphic novella in which YOU, the reader, attempt to navigate your way through to its conclusion at Castle Smorg. Can you traverse the pages without coming to an untimely demise? Collect items on your journey, adding them to your inventory on the cut-out bookmark.
Not all is as it seems, with a dangerous enemy plotting against you, native insurgents, and an array of cryptic hints hidden amongst humour. Decipher the clues to escape, or be subsumed into the narrative forever...
"Bing bong! Welcome to the blurb!
If you're looking for a synopsis, you've come to the right place. My name is Bongo, and I'm the official bard of Smorgasboard. That is, the black-and-white, interactive comedy contained within this text. It's my job to keep you entertained as you choose your route through the maze of this dark, alternate reality.
Don't just browse the cover, see you on the inside!
Yours, Bongo"
Probably the strangest book you'll ever read!
Review by Adam Mitchell - Gamebook and RPG reviews:
"This book reads like something you'd see on stage at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival…
"Green's book takes a unique approach to the 'traditional' concept of a gamebook and throws the rule book out of the window."
Review by James Spearing - My Gamebook Adventures:
“Without giving too much away, you become absorbed into the book itself, and need to work with the narrator to follow the clues left by the jester Bongo. There are many wonderfully surreal moments, including a hilarious dissection of the absurdity of vending machines, and lots of encounters with eccentric characters that may try to help, if you can read between the lines. Sometimes literally."
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
