Playing by yourself, solo tabletop gaming – Ask The Bellhop

October 20, 2018 by Moe T. 2 Comments

Phil Vecchione, over on the Misdirected Mark Slack channel asks,

Do you have any recommendations for solo board/card games?

Thanks for the question, Phil.

Those of you who are regulars here on the Bellhop's blog may recognize this name. Yes, this is the same Phil Vecchione who wrote the book Never Unprepared, which I just re-reviewed a couple of days ago. It's also the same Phil Vecchione that we will be interviewing on Thursday (Oct 25th at 8:30) on Twitch about his new RPG Ashcan: Hydro Hacker Operatives or H2O.

So I only got in a couple of face to face games this week, both on Friday night: Gloomhaven followed by Azul. I also introduced our podcast host, Sean, to Tokiado over on Board Game Arena. [ READ MORE ]
