8 • The Art of Victory When the Game Is All the World • 41 pages by Eugie Foster Very Good. Mouria is a maker technician. She's making a puer for the game, hoping it will become a champion. While all the puers are being sponsored she gets called before the Committee. Yeah, they have a great offer for her, but what's the catch? I got from the start that these people were playing god or something. Which didn't make me invest in them. Once the characters were developed that changed and it became ve...
An average issue with some interesting stories by Eugie Foster, Nick Dichario, Auston Habershaw, Maiga Doocy and J. A. Pak.- "The Art of Victory When the Game Is All the World" by Eugie Foster: in a future where sentient beings are created as mixtures of desires and handicaps to be played in an arena, two creators duel via their creations. But through their creations, they world learn desires, pain and love in unexpected ways.- "Ennead in Retrospect" by Christopher Mark Rose: on a station in the...

One of the best issues in a long while. Some tremendous stories...along with the usual couple of annoying sample novels.
Not the best issue, but a couple of good stories.Eugie Foster - The Art of Victory When the Game Is All the World - 3 stars - One group creates new 'people' (?) which a second, higher class group then use in competitions. If a creator is successful enough, he/she might be promoted to the higher class. The story in the story was nice, but the outer structure/setting was just too nebulous.Christopher Mark Rose - Ennead in Retrospect - 3 stars - There were a couple of neat ideas, such as ley lines
The Art of Victory When the Game is All the World by Eugie Foster was brilliant! Favorite novella/story of January. So emotional and deep.The four novelettes were also fantastic: Animale dei Morti by Nick DiChario Bone Broth by Karen HeulerPrison Colony Optimization Protocols by Auston HabershawThe Gentle Dragon Tells His Tale of Love by J.A. PakI also liked There Won't Be Questions by Joe Baumanns.
This was another great edition. One of the best decisions I have ever made was in asking my lovely wife for a subscription to this magazine for my birthday this past year. I should have done that sooner. I'm also sitting on a mountain of old editions I've inherited from an uncle so I'm set for years to come. 'The Gentle Dragon Tells His Tale of Love' by J.A. Pak was fantastic. I loved it and certainly wouldn't mind reading more about the great and magnificent Faine. 'There Won't Be Questions' by...
Look I am not going to go super deep into each issue, but let me say how stoked to get these in the mail and you should too. My favorite novelettes were Bone Broth by Karen Heulers and Prison Colony Optimization by Auston Habershaw. So let us start with Bone Broth, the Off-beat vibe hooked from the first moment. The story had a lived-in feel. The prose was super strong and has me looking forward to her novel mentioned in the intro. Prison Colony Optimization is a classic feeling SF tale that rea...

1 novella, 3 novelets, 7 short stories, plus editorials/reviews
I only skipped one story. The rest were solid gold.
Another stellar issue. Here are all the stories I enjoyed:- The Art of Victory When the Game Is All the World by Eugie FosterGames within Games within Games. Who is the Played and who is the Player? A powerful and very sad story. And very sad that we won’t have any more tales from Eugie Foster.- Animale dei Morti by Nick DiCharioThe things we do to honor tradition! Another of the author’s wonderful new ‘old’ Italian folk tales. “Death does not bring out the best in people.”- Bone Broth by Karen
A side set of enjoyable stories. I particularly liked the novelettes and doe_haven.vr for an interesting scifi depiction of living with anxiety.
