At Gen Con, I was lucky to snag a prototype of Lands of Amazement from @buttonshy.bsky.social. I enjoy this kind of spatial puzzle and I really like the layers this @scottalmes.bsky.social design adds in terms of how you carry over cards, gain bonuses, and target the final park. #SoloGaming

Conservas is another banger from @scottalmes.bsky.social. Love the sustainable fishing theme for this solo game. It's a slimmed-down bag builder, never outstays its welcome, and was more challenging than I expected!

Finished my first full game of Lands of Amazement, the newest game in the Simply Solo line from Button Shy and Scott Almes. It's a polyomino laying game with a hint of deck building and makes my brain hurt in a great way! Managed to finish with a score of 2 (0 is best), not bad!

Hm, any good recommendations to pick up during the Steam Summer Sale? Some of my favorite recent games have been Dredge, Outer Wilds, Curse of the Golden Idol, Art of Rally, Wilmot’s Warehouse, Lonely Mountain Downhill. Love good indie games, especially with a bit of action or puzzle to it.

I love Conservas from @scottalmes.bsky.social & @25thcentury.games! It's about fishing (but not overfishing) and maintaining a sustainable business. This excellent solo bag-building game plays in 20 minutes & offers plenty of challenges. #boardgames
