Ep 10 - Print and Play Special - Orchard: 9 Card Solitaire Game & Why Our Special Guest Loves Micro Games
Always Player One: A Solo Board Gaming PodcastShow Notes
In this episode Scruffy and Norm welcome Dan Leacy, industry insider and lover of small footprint games. The three of them then take a deep dive into the print and play game Orchard: 9 Card Solitaire Game as well as diving into the world of small box games, who are these games for? What is their appeal and now that we've played Orchard which other small games should we look out for? In typical Always Player One fashion we go off the beaten path in our conversation and end up covering a wide variety of topics including the interesting concept of using board games as an exercise in mental wellness. For such a small game there sure was a lot for us to unpack!

Listener question:
Are there any games that allow you to enter a flow like state where player agency is less important than experiencing the game?

Here we are, have your tissues ready, it's going to get emotional... The final episode.
In this episode Norm & Scruffy are joined once more by Kendall McKenzie to count down the top 5 solo games as chosen by our listeners. This top 5 list was made based on votes from our listeners over on our Discord server.
In this episode we take a deep dive into The Wars of Marcus Aurelius, a game that has Norm and Scruffy completely divided. Listen as one host tears down the game while the other builds it back up. Where will you land with it? Are you more of a Scruffy or a Norm in this instance? Important update: in this episode we refer to Amabel Holland by an incorrect name, this was an honest mistake as we were not aware she had changed her name. We meant no offence and hope this does not upset anyone. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/alwaysplayeronepodcast Buy us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/alwaysplayerone
