ABSOLUTISM — LET US ENTERTAIN YOU
Let us entertain you with a scenario—you give up some of your liberties to see your political ideals materialize with your next vote. There’s always a barter. Nothing comes for free. Giving more power to your leaders means keeping less power for you. Always. And in a few short years we’ll have a story told like this:
Once upon a time, there will be one absolute ruler who we, the people, call the Supreme Leader (May He Rule Forever).
ABSOLUTISM — A PARTY CARD GAME
Absolutism uncovers the hilarious truth about who is the most dictatorial in your group of friends or among your family members. It should be played in groups of four or more, up to ten players and it is perfect for grown-ups.
Games for Aliens
This is the moment of revelation—Vali and I have been working 24 hours a day (yes, we do have 30 hours a day here, in Toronto) to conceive, design and develop a new party card game. We call it Absolutism.
PRE-ABSOLUTISM
I know I have been silent lately but, it’s with good reason.
For the last four months, I have been working at developing and designing the first game of a new tabletop game enterprise. All details in due time.

Alice Unbound Anthology
I am soooo happy to announce that my story “The Smoke” is published in this supercool anthology, “Alice Unbound”, edited by the talented writer and editor extraordinaire Colleen Anderson. Just look at this incredible list of writers. I’m so proud to be part of it!
The Review that Said It All
“Costi Gurgu has written the near impossible: a novel-length story set on an alien planet (in an alien universe? in an alien timeline?) with no reference to anything terrestrial. (…) It is not an escapist read. However, I do expect it to attract a cult following and, in due course, to become a cult classic.”
RecipeArium Review in Black Gate Magazine
“It can be difficult sometimes to find science fiction that really stands out, but RecipeArium accomplishes that, hands down. If you’re looking for something weird and compelling, you’re gonna want to check out this novel.”
