On Should you play solo with Norm!

Welcome to 20 Minute Tabletop! In this episode, host Tom welcomes Andy Norman, co-host of the podcast Always Player One, to delve into the niche but fascinating world of solo board gaming. Between 2020 and 2022, Always Player One stood out by focusing on the intricacies and allure of solo board gaming rather than mere reviews. Andy shares his journey into solo gaming, discusses the merits and unique aspects of playing board games alone, and debates whether there is a stigma attached to it. They also explore particular games like Mage Knight, Marvel Champions, and Iron Sworn, discussing their mechanics, appeal, and how they fare as solo experiences. If you're interested in solo gaming or just curious about it, this is a must-listen episode! Tune in for an enlightening conversation that might just convince you to give solo board gaming a try.
