1 Player Podcast

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.

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. At the Gates of Loyang Agricola Ora et Labora Merkator Bohnröschen Al Cabohne

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. The Isle of Doctor Necreaux on BGG. The Essen Spiel 2012 Preview geeklist on BGG. Storm the Castle on Kickstarter. Relentless: The Search for Glory on Kickstarter. 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. Levéee Masse on BGG. Solitaire PnP Design contest winners. Lonely Meeple blog. Fragor Brothers' Spellbound on BGG. Don Quijote Android app beta on BGG.

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.

In this episode, I review Flash Point: Fire Rescue, published by Indie Board & Cards. I've really enjoyed playing this game. I also do an unboxing of D-Day Dice which I received the other day. Oh yeah, and I ramble about the goal of gaming. Flash Point: Fire Rescue on BGG. Flash Point: 2nd Story on Kickstarter. D-Day Dice on BGG. The Battle of Red Cliffs on Kickstarter.

Episode 21 is here. Today I cover World War II games (sort of) and then go into detail about London's Burning. I also do an unboxing of A.D.30. Really, it's an uneveloping but you get the idea. :) London's Burning on BGG A.D.30
