1 Player Podcast

In this latest episode, the 1st episode in the "Summer of Uwe", we discuss the Puzzle Trilogy game Spring Meadow. It's a light polyomino laying game in which you are trying to maximize your score while hiking in a meadow and defrosting the ground.

In this episode, probably for the first time ever, we don't review a game - gosh!  Instead, we talk about game art and art in games.  It's a fun conversation and I for one enjoyed it.  However, we do briefly, oh so briefly, talk about solo RPG products.

Rwarrrrr!  In this episode we talk about dinosaur parks in South America.  More specifically, we talk about the game Dinogenics were you can run your own park!

In our latest episode, we look at the solo journaling RPG Alone Among the Stars.  It's a neat little game were you write super-short journal entries about your journey through space as you visit planets and see strange new sites.

I posted my session as a blog entry here.

Wow another podcast!  That's right.. episode 159 is here and this time we talk about the game Fire!  It's a short show for a short shoot-em up based old old video games like Space Invaders.  In fact it looks a whole lot like Space Invaders. Pew! Pew! Pew!

In this episode, Albert & Julius discuss the lovely little legacy game, Charterstone.  Pretty much that's it.

NOTE: THIS EPISODE IS FULL OF SPOILERS!!

Wow another episode in the same year!  We are on a role.  This time around, Albert interviews Lee Broderick, designer of Dwarf, now on Kickstarter.  We have a fun chat about Uwe Rosenberg games and get into a lot of the details about dwarfs (or dwarves).  We get into dwarven details. :)

Wow, it's been a while, huh?  Life is busy lately and there just isn't much time to game, not even solo.  Still, here we are with another episode and this time we cover two games!  Well, both are pretty similar. Actually, both are about the same game with a different setting.

Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure

Clank! In! Space!

Albert spent some time playing Discover: Lands Unknown from FFG.  We get back together to discuss the game.
