ENGN Preview Series #7 - Renegade w/ Ricky Royal Jul 05, 2017

Show notes

Ricky Royal is on the podcast!

This week on a special preview series episode, Anthony and Jason sit down for a mega-sized interview with Richard Wilkins (AKA Ricky Royal), the man behind Box of Delights, and the one who has taught countless solo gamers how to play Mage Knight (among others).

We're chatting about Renegade, Ricky's first game as a designer, launching on Kickstarter July 18th from Victory Point Games. We both had a chance to play and we pick Ricky's brain about the game, its roots, and the future.

ENGN Episode 41 - Escape Room Games and Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Jun 30, 2017

Show notes

Puzzles and Mystery!

This week, Anthony and Jason dive into puzzles and mysteries with a full rundown of solo play for all four major escape room games, including Exit, Unlock!, Escape Room the Game, and Escape the Room. We also look at the classic mystery solving game, Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective (the newer release with the Jack the Ripper mysteries).

How do these games play, are they better solo or with other players, and most important of all, why do we always have to ask if a game will work solo? Why the stigma of playing a fun and perceived social game alone?

Jason sits down this week with Brady Sadler to discuss two Kickstarters currently running for games he designed - Street Masters: Rise of the Kingdom and Epic AF. Sadler is a seasoned designer who has worked on a lot of our favorite solo games in his time at Fantasy Flight, including the recently cancelled Warhammer Quest: Adventure Card Game.

Show notes

This week on Every Night is Game Night, Anthony and Jason sit down to discuss solo variants.

The games covered include Five Tribes, 7 Wonders, 7 Wonders Duel, and Takenoko. We also dig a bit into Automa and how it can help to improve solo play through carefully mimicking the opposing player's turn.
