1 Player Podcast

This long overdue episode is finally out. In this show, I look at Rune Age, the deck-building game by Corey Konieczka and published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2011. This is a fantasy themed deck-building game set in the world of Terrinoth which is also the setting for Rune bound, DungeonQuest, Descent, and Rune Wars. All of which, except for the last 2, support solitaire play. I also introduce solitaire gaming month... May!

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.
