This episode is just full of exciting stuff. First off, we meet the new co-host, Julius. Then, Julius does an interview with Matt Leacock. Mr Leacock has published a number of co-op games that are very solo friendly and now has a kickstarter going on for Thunderbirds, a co-op game based on the classic animated show. We cover two games this time, Forbidden Island and Forbidden Desert! That's something that has only happened once before in this podcast when I covered Lord of the Rings. Finally, Julius introduces a new segment and I have a giveaway!

This episode I look at the game The Hunters: German U-Boats at War 1939-1943, if you want the full title. This game is a simulation of being in charge of a u-boat during world war two. The game is similar to the classic B-17 Queen of the Skies in that though the game play is very light and random it is full of historical flavor.

In this latest episode, I cover Race for the Galaxy and it's expansion The Gathering Storm which added solo play to the game via a robot. I had the opportunity to play this thanks to a "Solitaire Games Around the World" event in which a copy of this game is being sent... around the world! I also look back at my favorite games this year and then look forward to the upcoming year.

This first episode of 2015 features an interview with Tony Boydell, designer of Snowdonia and a review of... Snowdonia! This is a great worker-placement game with lots of hard choices to make and lots of variability in the play. Games can feel very different, depending on weather, contract cards, train chosen, rubble distribution and scenario.

This episode is mercifully short and on only two things... The 1 Player Guild's People's Choice Top 100 Solo Games!!! and Pandemic: The Cure.. the latest disease fighting co-op game by Matt Leacock. First I go over the top 20 solo games as the people voted. You can find the remaining 80 on the BGG geeklist. Then, I look at Pandemic: The Cure. This is a fun co-op game on fighting disease dice spreading throughout the world. It's a fun dice game that plays quickly.

This episode has been loooong in the making. Mainly this is because I recorded the interview at the end of September. This show is on solitaire RPGs. I interview Kenny the Cabbage. He runs the solitaire RPG guild on BGG and hosts a blog on solo roleplaying (soloroleplayer.com/).

This super episode is on a super game called Sentinels of the Multiverse. This is a super-hero card game designed for 3-5 players that is very fun solo. The expansions add an incredible amount of replayability to a game that brings a lot of replayability in the box. Add to that the opportunity for monthly challenges at the 1 Player Guild and this game is virtually guaranteed fun!

In this episode I revisit the now classic game Onirim. I covered the game on my very first episode and look at it again now that a 2nd edition has been released. The new edition, not only looks MUCH nicer, but includes an extra 4 expansions (plus an appendix). Not only that, but I talk with the designer, Shadi Torbey about this and the other Oniverse games.

This "week" I look at the game Duel in the Dark. This is a two player game with a solo variant build in. It is set in WWII Europe. British bombers are attacking your German cities and you need to defend them from the onslaught. In this weird game, victory points are gained when other side moves into your space.
