1 Player Podcast

Today's episode is on the classic solitaire wargame, Ambush! This is a paragraph driven wargame. As you play, you look up in a book to determine what is going on. In otherwords, this game has A LOT of information that is unknown to the player until he encounters it. I also briefly talk about preparing to play a big solo game.

Today's show is on The Isle of Doctor Necreaux. It's a small cooperative game for 1-5 players with a fun theme. I also go over some of the solo-friendly games at Essen this year.

Trail of Ithaqua announcement on FFG. The Steward's Fear expansion for Lord of the Rings LCG announcement. Don Quijote app on Google Play.

In this latest episode, I review Last Frontier: The Vesuvius Incident. This is a neat game about sending space marines into a ship invested with hostile aliens. Unfortunately, the ship is falling into a planets atmosphere. Your time is limited. The goal is to get into the ship and save as many crew as possible, or at least account for the dead crew. It's a bit gruesome but fun. The game is currently on KS, if it sounds interesting check it out before the campaign ends. I also resolve the Pocast Contest #2 Last Fronter: The Vesuvius Incident on Board Game Geek and on Kickstarter.

This episode I talk about the Victory Point Game's State of Siege game called Levée en Masse. The game is on the French Revolution and designed for exactly one player. I also mention a contest.

This is the (first) Print and Play episode. Hopefully, I'll have many more of these as I have a few other PnP games I'd like to look at. In this episode, I first talk with Crhis Hansen of the Solitaire Print and Play Design Contest being hosted on BGG. Chris talks about last years contest and winners and also about how to be involved in this years contest. There is also some talk about print and play games, in general. After that interview, I look at Raider 16-Atlantis, which was a winner from last year's contest. I talk about my experiences with putting together and then playing the game. Raider 16 - Atlantis on BGG. The files for the game are listed in this discussion. The current monthly geeklist on print and play crafting. The Print and Play guild on BGG.

Reviews by Chris, of games from last year's contest. And finally... The discussion thread for this year's contest.

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!.
