This episode covers, briefly, the history of solitaire, resolves a contest, and then describes a different solitaire... Bowling Solitaire by Sid Sackson. Happy April Fool's Day all.
I'm really excited by this episode. I've been wanting to talk about dungeon crawlers for the longest time. Not only that, but I even review a game appropriately named Dungeon Crawler. This is a ECG (expandable card game) in which to take a team of characters into a dungeon. I also give a broad general look at dungeon crawling. Oh, make sure to pay attention to the small contest.
Note that one game I mentioned in the news, Once Upon a Fable, no longer seems to exist on Kickstarter. Sorry about that.
Episode 34 is about D-Day Dice.. which was covered in episode 11 and even in an unboxing on episode 22. This now is officially the game I've most talked about. I also give a quick look at bunch of 5 minute games.
Today we have another big episode all about infections. First, there is an interview with John Gibson, designer of Infection and being published by Victory Point Games. Then, I give a review of Pandemic comparing both the old and new versions as well as describing the gameplay in general.

Another megasode is here! This episode is all about Van Ryder Games and If I'm Going Down.... If I'm Going Down is a zombie survival game which you won't get to survive. We also talk about the playtesting of Hostage Negotiator.
I've got a list of about a dozen games I want to talk about in upcoming episodes. At my normal rate this could be 8 months of shows! Here's a preview of some I'm hoping to do sooner rather than later...
Then, in no particular order and subject to change...
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.
Welcome to the 1st episode of 2013. This show I look at the game Mosby's Raiders published by Victory Games. The game is about John Mosby and his Partisan Raiders. They waged guerrilla warfare against the North during the American Civil War. This episode I also look at my "ideal solitaire game" by picking the various attributes I think I like in a game. The episode is a bit short. It might have been longer if it wasn't for the power going out while recording. I finished in the dark.
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.
