Today we’re talking about playing games more than once. Is this a cult of the old vs a cult of the new discussion?  Hopefully not. Really what we want to do is look at the pros and cons of playing the same game many times. Are there really cons? Probably, maybe?

Today we’re talking about playing games solo. NOT playing solo games, that’s completely different. What we’re talking about is playing a non-solo game by yourself taking on multiple player positions. From teaching yourself a new game to trying out different strategies against yourself, we’ll talk about some of the reasons you may want to do this. We’ll also take a look at what types of games are most easily played in this way. Email us at feedback@TabletopGameTalk.com – for questions and feedback.
