How to play

A marker slides back and forth across the spine of a book. One sewing station lights up at a time. Stop the marker on the lit station to place a stitch. Land it dead centre for a perfect stitch and a bonus. Stop it off the station and the thread tears. Three tears and the binding fails. Finish every station on a signature and the book is bound, then a new one starts with a faster marker and a smaller target. It is a game about patience and a steady hand, the same things hand bookbinding asks for.
