Welcome to Totally Decked, a series where I teach and play the best solo board games that use a standard deck of cards. This time I'm playing Empire Solitaire, a solo card game that is reminiscent to Food Chain Island.
We got around to the 15+ player mega game, Touched by Darkness! It only took about 8 hours and to rent an entire event space. This mega game has teams of up to 4 players cooperating to survive while trying to do their team’s specific goals. However, everything is wrapped within the lightheartedness of roleplaying, or even LARPing! We didn’t see so much war gaming in our session, but there was the shadow attack that I did not participate in. There’s plenty of negotiation and worker placement to do, as you try to feed your people and also participate in the ritual. If you’re the servant of the dark one (traitor), you want to be part of the ritual and sabotage it!
Games mentioned: Twilight Imperium 4, Unfathomable, Lords of Waterdeep, Battlestar Galactica

Got through a lot of games last week! Featuring some lighter card games as we were out with friends, and those types are super easy to play at a bar. Finished our Regicide Legacy campaign - feeling emotional! Had a crack at the mode you can play post-campaign and it’s decent!
Made our final conclusions on Forest Shuffle OG vs Dartmoor version after playing both this week 😬
