In this latest episode, I cover Race for the Galaxy and it's expansion The Gathering Storm which added solo play to the game via a robot. I had the opportunity to play this thanks to a "Solitaire Games Around the World" event in which a copy of this game is being sent... around the world! I also look back at my favorite games this year and then look forward to the upcoming year.

This super episode is on a super game called Sentinels of the Multiverse. This is a super-hero card game designed for 3-5 players that is very fun solo. The expansions add an incredible amount of replayability to a game that brings a lot of replayability in the box. Add to that the opportunity for monthly challenges at the 1 Player Guild and this game is virtually guaranteed fun!
I also look at thematic games and pick my "top 7" thematic games.

In this episode I revisit the now classic game Onirim. I covered the game on my very first episode and look at it again now that a 2nd edition has been released. The new edition, not only looks MUCH nicer, but includes an extra 4 expansions (plus an appendix). Not only that, but I talk with the designer, Shadi Torbey about this and the other Oniverse games.

This latest episode is on Print and Play games. I look at two things specifically, which includes a LOT of games....
1. The solitaire PnP design contest 2014 is currently in the print and play it phase. Twenty-eight games have been submitted and are contest ready! You can try them out now before the voting period begins which runs about a week and ends on Sept. 13. I give a quick run-down of the games.
2. I review Chad Metsdagh's Everything versus Everything. It's a game in which you have characters from various pop-culture moves, stories, etc fight each other. You control six characters while "the Director" controls another six. Who has the most powerful team?

This episode is on a cool deck building/area control game, Asgard's Chosen. This is a really neat hybrid that takes the best of both worlds and combines them into a fun game, albeit hard to learn, game. I also finally, way belatedly, announce the winners of the 1 Player Awards. However, if you follow the 1 Player Guild, and you should, this is all old news.

In this latest episode, I look at the game of Nations, a card drafting, resource management, worker placement kind of game. I also get to talk to one of the designers, Rustan Håkansson, one of the designers of the game. Nations is a big game and this is a big episode to go along with it!

Welcome back to the 1 Player podcast. I unexpectedly took a vacation from podcasting for the last few weeks so I've stayed busy and have a lot of fun playing Thunderstone Advance. This is a great dungeon crawling, deck building game for 1 to 4 players The game is a sequel to Thunderstone with streamlined rules, however it is compatible with the original game so you can get even more cards to play with now, if you have the original.
