It may puzzle the more pompous as to why this body of men and women, these ardent revolutionaries of the spirit, spent so much time engaged in occupations usually considered more suitable for bored children on wet afternoons. The answer is that Surrealist play is more like a kind of provocative magic, that it breaks the thread of discursive thought, and, above all, helps them to confirm the primary Surrealist belief in what they called objective chance or the certainty of hazard, to break through conventional thought and behaviour to a deeper truth.
A Book of Surrealist Games, invented and played by André Breton, René Magritte, and Max Ernst, compiled by Alastair Brotchie, 1995
