This week we talk about Deck of Wonders, which currently has an expansion out on Kickstarter. I'd hope to get this episode out with plenty of time for listeners to decide if they want to back this. Saddly, Hurricane Helene set back my production schedule and the Kickstarter ends in just a couple of days. This game is a light deck construction game …

I am still struggling with outdoor home internet. Julius and family picked up my slack and recorded an episode. This week's game is the sequel to The Search for Planet X.Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week again no episode. I was affected by Hurricane Helene. My family is fine but we are with out power going on four days now. It will be a few weeks before I can get the currently recorded episode out.Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week Julius tells us all about climbing behemothic monsters, also known as Leviathans. In this game you are trying to remove crystals from Leviathans all while they fight back. It's a cooperative game that can be played solo and uses a book with 17 diferrent monsters, each its own board. It is actually a pretty unique sounding game and I enjoy…

This week I talk about a gamebook from Fervent Workshop called What Lies Beneath. It was designed by Chris Scaffidi and the art is by Jason Glover, who has also designed quite a few games of his own. In this gamebook, you wake up in a dungeon with no memory of who you are or what you are here. What's worse is you seem to have some sort of creepy ca…

This week Julius and I are back with a Popular Mechanics episode. The mechanic this time around is "animals". That is, we are talking about games with animals in them and feature animals. Oh, we also resolve a contest about 6 minutes in. If you have entered any recent contests on this show, listen in to see if you won. Anyway, animals! These are ga…

This week it's not actually episode 350 but just a filler to let you know things are busy around here. We'll be back in a few weeks. In the meantime, don't forget to enter in the Ragemore contest!Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week a sick Albert tells Julius all about Hallertau. It's a really interesting worker placement farming game by Uwe Rosenberg. Yes another one! As per usual, this is a fun game with lots interesting choices, cool mechanics and more bits that fit in a normal sized box. Hallertau (BGG)Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

In which we resolve a long standing contest for The Last Lighthouse and then discuss the solitaire legacy game Kingdom Legacy: Feudal Kingdom. This is such a neat sounding game that Julius convinced me to order a copy! That rarely happens.Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week Julius tells us about the Lookout Games city building game, NEOM. It's a game about building a futuristic city but really it's a tile drafting game like 7 Wonders but with tile placement. NEOM (BGG, Lookout Games)Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week we talk about the (cozy?) game of animal crime fighting. This game is set in the Edwardian world of Sherlock Holmes. You are a mixed group of animals trying to solve animal crimes happening in and around Baker Street. It's a fun little game that is more akin to a Choose Your Own Adventure book than anything else. The Animals of Baker Stre…

Julius is back! To celebrate, we talk about rondel games, a subject he is much more familiar with than I. We explore a few games that feature Rondels. As usual, I try to stretch that definition a bit. 02:10 Red Cathedral (BGG) 05:15 Transmissions (BGG) 08:20 Coldwater Crown (BGG) / New Bedford (BGG) 11:35 Ora et Labora (BGG) 12:50 New York Zoo (BGG…

This week I look at the Simply Solo series from Button Shy Games. This is a collection of solo games all designed by Scott Almes, of many other games fame (Tiny Epic series, Warp's Edge and many more). In this two-part show, I rank the games from least to most favorite and focus on the last 3. Don't forget to enter the contest and win a copy of The…

This week I bring Lord the Rings the Card Game from Fantasy Flight back to the table. This is a game that honestly, is often on the table. It's by far my most played game. I enjoy the deck construction and fun adventures of this game. It's still a great time to get into the game too. Lord of the Rings: LCG (BGG, FFG) A Long-extended Party (aLeP) fr…

This week Julius is out so I have my very own dream quest as I talk about the game In Dreams by Jamie Thul & Mike Berg. It's an interesting little solo journaling game using a deck of unique cards and a little bit of AI magic. In Dreams (BGG, Side Room Games, PnP Arcade)Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week Julius and I go out on a limb and talk about miniatures gaming. Turns out this isn't a subject we really know much about so we struggle to come up with some good examples of it. Still, I think the episode is useful if you are curious about miniatures gaming and want to find out a bit about what that is. Also, check out the new YouTube cha…

This week Julius is back (but staying far far away from my teleporter). He talks about being lost in space in the game Unsettled in which you are exploring new planets while lost in space. It's a big big episode about a big big game!Autor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week Julius and I return to talk, yet again, about Sentinels of the Multiverse. This time we change things up a bit and talk about new content. First, we talk about the Cauldron expansion for the original editions. Then we talk about the Definitive Edition and our thoughts on that. The CauldronAutor: Albert Hernandez and Julius Besser

This week I'm talking about another solo RPG. It's Star Trek Captain's Log by Modiphius Games. Due to some technical issues, I ended up recording alone. Hopefully any problems are resolved before the next recording. Sorry Julius! This is an interesting game in which you create a character to tell stories that feel like an episode of any one of the …

This week Julius is out so I have a special guest. A podcast listener, ChrisOkay, comes on the show to talk me into playing Expedition to Newdale. The game will eventually get played by me but that is probably years away. Technically, I did play it a couple of times when I first got it... one solo and one with my son. Chris thinks I should play it …

This week Julius and I discuss set collection solo games. We each bring three games that we think include set collection in the mechanics and are interesting solo games. Just a footnote here... I am right about Agricola. The first set of three sheep gets you a point. After that, every set of two sheep gets you a point! If you disagree, just let me …

I accidentally used Podbeans AI processing. Let's see how it sounds.. the description below is from their's. Welcome to Episode 334 of the One Player Podcast, where we dive headfirst into the unique game systems of '20 Strong' and 'Solar Sentinels'. Join our host Albert as he navigates through the intriguing mechanics, quality of components, and pl…

This week's game is Dungeon Pages, a roll and write by Jasons Greeno & Tagmire. It's a roll and write dungeon crawl game. It was initially released once over the course of a year. Each week you would get a new dungeon page. Effectively a hero with their set of five dungeons to explore. Each of those pages is a quick campaign game that can be played…

This week Julius and I talk about Bullet ♥︎ and, really, Bullet ★. These games are in the style of Bullet Hell video games were bullets are flying all over the place in overwhelming quantities. It's a really fast playing simultaneous play game with a timer. Julius find the timer optional and I appreciate that because it makes the game sound more fu…
