Welcome to another episode! This time around, Albert interviews Dennis Furia, the designer of Deck of Wonders, which is on Kickstarter right now.

This game has a nice M:TG feel to it in that you are fighting a battle against an enemy by summoning minions to fight for you.  However, what is really cool here is that this game is designed for solo play and does a very good job of giving you an interesting game experience.

It's on KS right now and worth looking into.

In the latest episode Albert & Julius discuss the White Dog Games title, Nubia: Egypt's Black Heirs.  This is a States of Siege style game designed by R Ben Madison and quite fun.

In this episode Julius talks about the latest completed Arkham Horror Cycle, the Dream-Eaters (whose name I have trouble getting straight).  This cool campaign takes players to Lovecraft's Dreamlands, though Julius and I will focus our discussion on the waking world, for now and visit the Dreamlands in an upcoming show.

a.k.a., how to play with distractions.  Distractions are annoying regardless the number of players.  It's only really a problem though with solo gaming.  What do you do when your kids or your cat show up?  You panic!

In this episode we discuss the draw and write game Cartographers.  A Roll Player game without any rolling!  It does have some fun map-making though.
