I am delighted to announce that my solitaire world-building game, "Empire of Grass", is now available.
This game puts you in the shoes (stirrups?) of the Great Khan expanding the Mongol Empire however you want it to go.
Can you do better than Genghis?

@gregjenner.bsky.social understand your a busy person but I don't suppose you want to plug a historical board game and its upcoming expansion which is based on a much loved and complex PC game? The designers can provide a copy and it's new expansion if interested :)
