Table for One Episode 9 - Tiny Epic Everything! (Kingdoms, Defenders, Galaxies, and Western) Nov 19, 2016

Show notes

This week Anthony and Jason sit down to talk about one of the biggest (little) game series in the industry the last few years - Tiny Epic. From Gamelyn Games and designer Scott Almes, the Tiny Epic series hit the market a few years back with Tiny Epic Kingdoms and has since launched Tiny Epic Defenders, Tiny Epic Galaxies, and Tiny Epic Western, with the newest, Tiny Epic Quest, on Kickstarter right now.

The common thread? Every one of these games has a solo mode. So we're going to sit down and discuss the games, what makes them work, and their solo modes, along with some of the issues that come up when discussing little (big) games.

Table for One Episode 7 - A Feast for Odin Oct 28, 2016

Show notes

This week I'm diving into one of the biggest (quite literally) new euro releases of the fall - A Feast for Odin from Uwe Rosenberg. The newest, spacial tile-based worker placement game is a big hit coming out of Essen this year, and has one of the more interesting solo modes of any Rosenberg game in recent years.

This week I'm going to look at how it plays, what I like about it, and how it compares to other recent Rosenberg releases with solo variants like Fields of Arle and Caverna.

Table for One Episode 4 - Star Trek Frontiers, Mansions of Madness Second Edition, The Manhattan Project: Chain Reaction, and Board Game Apps Oct 07, 2016

Show notes

It's episode 4 of Table for One! Thanks for joining me. This week, I'm discussing three games I really quite enjoy, along with a topic that I know is relevant to most gamers out there.

First up, we're discussing three recent plays, which include Star Trek Frontiers to start. Is this rethemed version of Mage Knight worth tracking down and playing if you already have Mage Knight? Find out in my quick solo review. Next up is initial impressions of Mansions of Madness Second Edition, one of my surprise hits of the year thus far. And finally, a small box game with a lot of meat to it - The Manhattan Project: Chain Reaction.

Finally, I'm digging into board game apps - the ones I like, the ones I'm vaguely disappointed with, and the situations in which I play them (and don't). Check it out if you have a tablet or smartphone and are interested in expanding your options as well.

Table for One Episode 3 - Xenoshyft Dreadmire, Hostage Negotiator, Castles of Burgundy Card Game, and Setup/Breakdown Time for Solo Games Sep 22, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back for episode 3 of Table for One! This week, we're talking about a couple of new games, one of which I've covered in part in the past, and an oldie that keeps hitting the table.

I dive into Xenoshyft Dreadmire to see if it fixes the difficulty issues of Onslaught, then I revisit Hostage Negotiator as we prepare for the next standalone set that's coming very soon. I also give a more in-depth review of The Castles of Burgundy Card Game after several more plays.

Finally, we dig into the foibles of setup and breakdown time in solo gaming. Are there games you never get to the table because they take too long, or others that just never get broken down because you may as well leave it out? Let's chat about this and more on Episode 3 of Table for One.
