Wildtails: A Pirate Legacy
The life of a pirate is never easy and rarely boring. Whether it’s running contraband past military patrols or securing your hideout from rivals, you’ll need equal parts wit and daring to turn your fledgling operation into a pirate empire.
Legacy games are a challenge to design, and in an 18-card footprint I imagine the impossibility factor only increases. Well, you won’t want to miss out on the wonderful artwork and experience provided by Wildtails, a cooperative legacy game for 1-2 players. Complete objectives, manage crises, store resources to the Empire, and defeat a threat with each scenario as you advance through this campaign game that even includes a way to make post-campaign scenarios.
Spies
You are all spies who have infiltrated an ambassador’s mansion, each working for different countries. Accomplish missions and try to sabotage your Target’s missions to score points.
A fun game of moving through rooms, completing or sabotaging missions along the way. The player to your left is the person to try and figure out their movements. Players cannot repeat the rooms they enter previously, and can jump to any unvisited room during movement but only if they announce the room they are leaving from. You also get to ask them a question each round, to which they must honestly answer. There’s a lot of interaction in this little game, and if you enjoy deduction along with trying to remain hidden yourself, this game is sure to be a hit.
Barrett Publishing: Hunted: North Pole, Hunted: Wode Ridge, & The Realm of Shadows Tri-Pack (The Hand of Destiny, The Forgotten Road, & The Last Stronghold)
The Realm of Shadows was once a land full of life and opportunity, but the forces of darkness in the north have cast a longer and longer shadow as they’ve moved further and further south. Now, it’s up to a small group of heroes to fight back and bring light to the darkness. And in this series of solo games, you’ll be able to become these heroes and bring peace to a realm overtaken by shadow.
How about this little selection of games? There’s a lot of variety in here, whether you want something festive for the holiday season, you prefer something that has a little more of a light horror vibe, or want a trio of fantasy games set in the Realm of Shadows world, there’s bound to be something for everyone here. Each of these is designed to be played solo, but most of them also include ways to play with a friend if that’s more of your speed. Don’t miss out on these incredible games for your collection!
