I was happy to be a playtester on this project. It’s a great game that’s reminiscent of Twilight Struggle. As a solo game, it’s a hoot. I recommend it. I backed it myself, even though I spent considerable time constructing the print and play.
A photo of my playtest version is below. The three stack blocks are frigates. The two stacks are sloops. The singles are armies.
Cold War Naval Battles is a free print-and-play version of the classic Modern Naval Battles card game. We played the heck out of MNB back in the day.
Tactical Game X is a modern take on the classic Panzer Leader / Panzer Blitz games, which now are pushing fifty years old. They’re still great, though, and if you love them, you might want to take a look at Tactical Game X.
From the Perfect Captain comes Spanish Fury: Siege, a board game about besieging a 16th century town or fort.
Maeshowe is a solo print and play game about tomb robbers in AD1150. From the game’s description:
According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Earl Rognvald Kali Kolsson broke into the chambered tomb of Maeshowe, on Orkney, in AD1150. In AD1153, Earl Harald Maddadson and a group of his men sheltered there during a snowstom. The sagas tell us that Rognvald found treasure there and that two of Harald’s men went mad. When the Victorians opened the tomb in 1861, they found Runic graffiti demonstrating that both of these episodes were based on real tomb-breaks. This game combines the two events from the 1150’s and casts you as Harald and Rognvald.
Th game uses standard playing cards (or you can print specialized cards) a board and a few tokens.
