Just heard about this one (Familiar Feat). Description by the publisher:

>Monsters have taken over the fairy-tale castle! Set out with your cuddly familiars and win over the creatures you meet before freeing the castle. But do not take too long: the longer your journey lasts, the more familiars you may lose along the way, and with too small a team, the final showdown could prove too difficult. Can you and your familiars drive all three monsters from the castle? Familiar Feat is a quick deck-building solo adventure, where each new level brings stronger monsters, tougher events, and an even more dangerous journey.

That’s all the info I could find. Apparently, it will be released at Essen and then go to retail. The publisher (who also published Deckers) said that the game has “a lot packed into a little box“, so as a fan of Friday (the first solo game I ever played), I’m curious and hyped.

Played a solo game of Nusfjord. Fun and quick game. As good as everyone says and highly intuitive. You finish a game and you want to play again (and you probably can play 2 games in an hour, if it’s solo). I got the Big Box edition which comes with all the expansions. There’s a lot of variety in the different included decks and I’m yet to play them all. If you’re looking for an entry level modern euro, this is a good choice imho.

Fun fact: According to the rulebook, Lookout Games asked permission to fellow publisher Hans im Glück to use the fish meeple shape from Carcassonne: South Seas for this game.

Today I played Sylvion, one of the games in inPatience’s Oniverse series, and had an enjoyable time. It’s a card driven tower defense game for one or two players (co-op) where a wild fire is advancing towards your forest and destroying all life it can in the way. When the fire cards move to the last spot (on top of your forest cards), they do burning damage according to what’s printed on the card. You play as forest entities such as animals, water bodies and trees defending their home. Some give you abilities, some defend on the battlefield, some restore life at the end of the game. Each card you play has a cost, and animals and trees have a strength number as well. The goal of the game is to have a fully green forest by the end. If even one forest card is on its burned side, you lose. I was completely destroyed by the wild fire in my first game but I was successful in the second.

This game has a pretty good climax and it feels tense right until the last second. It comes in a small box and the artwork is made up of whimsical watercolor illustrations. Feel free to ask any questions if you’re curious about the game :)

Today I played ‘Sylvion’, one of the games in inPatience’s ‘Oniverse‘ series, and had an enjoyable time. It’s a card driven tower defense game for one or two players (co-op) where a wild fire is advancing towards your forest and destroying all life it can in the way. When the fire cards move to the last spot (on top of your forest cards), they do burning damage according to what’s printed on the card. You play as forest entities such as animals, water bodies and trees defending their home. Some give you abilities, some defend on the battlefield, some restore life at the end of the game. Each card you play has a cost, and animals and trees have a strength number as well. The goal of the game is to have a fully green forest by the end. If even one forest card is on its burned side, you lose.

I was completely destroyed by the wild fire in my first game but I was successful in the second (as shown in the photos). This is what’s going on in the pictures:

• First picture: The last round of the game during my phase. My hand of cards is at the bottom right corner. There are two enemies left on the battlefield (each of those fire rascals has 2 attack). I have 9/12 life (3 burned forest cards, 9 healthy forest cards, as you can see at the edges). You can only win the game if you have 12/12 life by the end. I have an elephant card and an owl card. The elephant allows me to remove an enemy while the owl allows me to draw 3 cards. In this game, you play cards by paying their cost shown at the upper left corner of the card (in a drop of water icon) and you pay by discarding other cards in your hand. I chose to do play the elephant and remove the enemy on the second row, next to the tree deer card.
• Second picture: Since this is the last round of the game, there’s an additional phase where enemies advance endlessly towards your forest, destroying anything weaker than them and being stopped only by stronger cards. I removed one enemy but there was another one left which caused 2 damaged. Now I have 7/12 life.
• Third picture: Thankfully, I had 2 trees left, one gives me 2 life and the other 4 life, so together they restored 6 life, so I end up with 12/12 life and win the game.

This game has a pretty good climax and it feels tense right until the last second. Feel free to ask any questions if you’re curious about the game :)
