Sick day means no renfaire for me, boo. Time for solitaire Vast.

I founded the Indie Game Reading Club in 2010. I've written and developed RPGs since the mid-90s, now I mostly talk about playing them.

Feel better…
I debated backing their kickstarter, but didn’t pull the trigger on it. I assume it’s quality if it’s worth playing solitaire?
Jon Sprague it’s pretty clever! This is the second edition, and apparently the first edition had some rules-clarity problems (iirc Keith Stetson played that one), but my one play-through seemed easy enough.
There are five roles and they’re all radically asymmetrical. Like, there are literally no rules shared between the five roles other than what a map tile “is.” I played the Knight, solo, and honestly I used 90% of what the Knight does.
Every possible combination of roles at every possible player count works, with the addition or subtraction of a few cards. The only one you can’t play is solitaire Cave — yeah, the Cave itself is one of the five roles. 😛
Thank you… that sounds pretty cool. I’ll keep it on the wish/watch for list!
