I know you don’t get a lot of comments on these posts, but they are appreciated by some of us nonetheless! Thanks for your weekly efforts! :)

Broke out Ragusa finally, and played a couple solo games with it. I really enjoyed the “other players benefit from your action” aspect of it (for clarification, you’re placing houses at the corners of resource hexagons, and when you activate certain hexagons, each other player who has house(s) around it also take the action).

The rules take a bit to sink in, but I found it pretty satisfying.

Slightly sorry, mostly not sorry. (Oh, how I wish indie, on demand games weren’t so expensive…)

Not sure if you saw it, but there is a Gates mat actually! It’s annoyingly several dollars more, but for completeness, it’s there. And thanks for the heads up on the sale! Any suggestions for other good games?

While it is indeed a highly intriguing name, it is but a small part of the larger game. Sadly you do not get to explore the Fearamid, haha.

 

Broke out Gate and the Gates expansion for this morning’s solo game session. Got close to winning this time around, but the deck was under built by the time I got to the final two enemies. Final score of 30!

Quick follow up: it’s available on their site now!

For those transfer fees alone, I should be switching to yearly donations, but I’m about half half monthly and yearly right now. Looking at the ones I support via Patreon, not all of them actually offer a yearly option though.

Always looking for good solo games, thanks! This one should do nicely to help satiate the urge to go out and hike a wee bit (it’s regularly over a 100°F here, too hot for hikes).

Edit: is there a way to pick this up yet? I see that it was a kickstarter project, and that they do not yet have it on their site.

 

Opted for a couple games of Onirim this morning, and I got close to finally winning! Or at least I thought I had until I checked the discard and saw that that blue moon card I needed was discarded only a few turns into the game. Oh well, one day…

I made the jump a ways back, and it’s only on rare occasions that I find I need to open Brave or Chrome (whichever is installed on my machine at the time) for website compatibility.

 

I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all enjoy?

Okay, that clicks with other things I’ve heard recently. Thank you.

I would also like to know more about instances being defederated and for what reason this might be happening.
