Enemy Action: Kharkov. From my favourite designer - John Butterfield. This and the first game in the series EA: Ardennes are hands down the greatest solo wargames ever made. The game comes with three rulebooks - currently playing Soviet solo.

This War Of Mine. Not the most thematically fun game on the planet, but I pull this one out at least a couple of times a year due to it's excellent solo narrative. Easy to run but punishingly difficult - I've only ever won this once.

Labyrinth w/ expansions solo. Designed by the legendary @volko.bsky.social. I return to this game at least a few times a year and love it every time. Having witnessed the events in the timeline makes it all the more fascinating. It'll never leave my collection.

We are far from winning but Trump's erratic behavior is a reminder that he is 78, wholly ignorant, and mentally decomposing and it is a lot harder to establish your united Reich when your Fuhrer is Hitler in the bunker model 1945 rather than Hitler model 1933.

And that's a win! Came down to the wire as Georgia would have steamrolled through the second fort and claimed their final victory card unless I attacked it first. Luckily I'd invented flight on my previous turn, so flying over the water to attack the fort was no issue. Love this game.

Civ: A New Dawn + Terra Incognita expansion with the official/unofficial solo mode. This game is the ultimate underrated gem in all of boardgaming. The base game deserves it's 7.2 bgg ranking, but the expansion fixes all of it and elevates it to an 8.5 IMO.

Playing AFFO + Norwegians solo for the first time in a long time. No real strategy because it's been so long, but man this game just feels so nice to play. Highly recommend Norwegians for anyone playing this solo or 2-player.

How could you possibly fuck up a Civilization game when you're the same studio that literally invented the genre and created six successful iterations? All of the data you need for success is RIGHT THERE!

Feeling sorry for all of the American's who didn't vote for Tronald Dump now having to witness their economy tank in slow motion as their cost of living skyrockets in fast forward. What an absolute shit show.

Been hunting this for a while, primarily for solo. Last played the OG version of this way back when it released. Planning on printing off the "official" fan made solo mode based on the new Special Edition solo system 🎲

Currently playing David Turczi's "Tawantinsuyu" solo. Opinion so far = Highly strategic with plenty of planning and minimal luck. Biggest downside is the case specific micro-rules that could easily be pushed from the rulebook to a player board. Still enjoying it though!

Hear me out - a game like Papers, Please! Except it's called Pardon, Please! and you play the role of a shitty president of a corrupt, slowly decaying superpower, deciding who to spare and who to save on your journey to destroying democracy.

America just handed the keys over to the same guys their grandparents fought against 80 years ago. They played you like the fiddliest fiddle that ever fiddled. It's absolutely insane.

The Astro Bot teams shoutout to Nintendo during their GOTY acceptance speech was great. That team took Nintendo's DNA and made it into their own thing - something that Sony as a company could really learn a lot from.

Occasionally while playing Indy and the Great Circle I'll be crawling around in some Indy tomb and the light will cast my Indy shadow across this Indy wall in front of me and I'll be like, yeah, I'm motherfucking Indiana Jones.

Many people do not understand game design. Let me explain: game design is when attacking with your primary attack builds stacks of zorp, and your secondary consumes zorp stacks to add additional slow and lifesteal when you plurk

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle isn't doing anything incredibly new at the moment, but it's a motherfucken Indiana Jones walking sim where you just Indiana Jones your way through everything with a permanent smile on your face. This and Alien: Isolation are easily the two greatest movie games ever

Great news coming out of South Korea where the leader of the President's own party showed up at the National Assembly to shake hands with the head of the opposition party after its unanimous vote to revoke Yoon's martial law declaration.
