Solitaire Video Review: Pacific War 1942 Solitaire Travel Game from Worthington Publishing
In early 2024, Worthington Publishing announced a unique 2-pack of games on Kickstarter that were marketed as easy to play travel friendly solitaire games. And you know that I love a good solitaire wargame! And when I heard that these games were small, even portable, then I was even more interested. One of the games covered the Pacific Theater of WWII called Pacific War 1942 Solitaire and the other covers the War of 1812 called (you guessed it) War of 1812 Solitaire. These games are designed by Mike and Grant Wylie and each game has 4 pages of rules, a beautiful mounted board and double sided counters. I played both and really very much enjoyed the experience.

Endeavor: Deep Sea puts you in charge of a research vessel exploring the ocean both on the surface and at increasing depths. Recruit specialists, publish your research, and perform conservation activities while you are at it. This game has been on my wish list since it hit the Hotness. It checked a lot of boxes. […]


Working in the biomedical field, I’ve developed a pretty strong stomach for blood, guts, and gore. But going fishing? Eughhh! That’s where I draw the line for grossness. Shoving a hook through your helplessly wriggling bait, smelling the putrid sourness of dying flesh as fish get gutted, and having hours on end of nothingness to […]
There have been plenty of times in my life when I wished I was as smart as Sherlock Holmes. Or at the very least, had his memory for details and facts. It would certainly make parts of my day job a lot easier. Alas, I don’t have his brain. But Unlock!: Short Adventures, Inside the […]
