This latest episode looks at the new game by Serge Lagat & Bruno Cathala. This is a small memory math card game. Also, I briefly look at Tunnels & Trolls which is currently on Kickstater.
For the last episode of the year, I talk about Yahtzee-like games and specifically the Catan Dice Game. Based on the simplicity of this game, it is probably the shortest review yet. Also, yet another contest.. this one is even smaller and more complicated than the last! Happy Holidays!
This is Uwe Rosenberg month at the 1 Player Podcast. I review At the Gates of Loyang but also briefly talk about the other solo friendly games Mr Rosenberg has designed and I have tried.
Today's episode is on Circus Train by Tom Decker. A neat game in which you can play that dastardly sub-villain from Water for Elephants, Uncle Al.
This episode takes a look at solitaire games that can be played on an airplane tray table. It's a very small surface and very few games actually work on it. I also resolve the contest and announce the winner of the soon to be available Equilibrion. Finally, I talk about Feurio!, which was recently re-published by Mayfair games as Ablaze!.

In this episode, first I talk about what I've been playing lately. Then, I talk about Solitaire variants. I talk briefly about some games with variants for one and go over what kind of games don't usually support solitaire variants. Finally, I have an interview with BGG user GameRulesForOne. He has designed quite a few solitaire variants that have been posted on BGG.
In this episode, I talk about puzzle games, dexterity games, ThinkFun puzzles and Ricochet Robot. After briefly describe puzzle and dexterity games I talk about a number of puzzles published by Binary Arts. These are very color plastic puzzles. They design lots of stuff for kids but many of the puzzles are great for just about everyone. My 3 year old enjoys them as much as I do. I review Ricochet Robots, it's sort of a party maze game for folks that like puzzles.

Episode 4 of the 1 Player podcast is on games designed for 1 or more players. These are games which are competitive and usually have players vying for the high score at the end of the game. Many of these games work for solitaire play because they have limited interaction. In this episode not only do I review Luna: In the Domain of the Moon Priestess, but I also talk about the Harvest Trilogy by Uwe Rosenberg. The Harvest Trilogy consists of the three games Agricola, Le Havre, and At the Gates of Loyang.

Episode 3 of the 1 Player podcast is all about co-operative games. First I go the timeline of co-operative games starting way back in 1979. I make one glaring mistake during this segment but manage to correct myself later in the show. See if you can find it before I do. Finally, I review Lord of the Rings by Reiner Knizia & Lord of the Rings: The Card Game by Nate French.
