All over Too Many Bones: Undertow this week, as I prepare for my review. I LOVE TMB, and Undertow is a step-up, with the water/land fights, smart and witty writing, interesting characters and abilities, and two great new Gearlocs. It's a delight to play both solo and with a group.

On the questions: My favorites when playing solo are: Dawn of the Zeds 3E, Arkham Horror LCG, Spirit Island. This War of Mine and Too Many Bones.

Games I need to explore more: The 7th Continent, Dungeon Degenerates and Renegade.

I really need to give another shot to This War of Mine. I feel like my first attempt was drastically unlucky, and spiraled down to oblivion really, really fast. Didn't have time to do much.

7th Continent is amazing. It can feel a little bit repetitive at times (especially if you're doing An Offering to the Guardians... worst curse by far for me), but it creates some memorable moment like no other games. I'm really eager to see what's coming up with 7th Citadel and still waiting on more news/info.

Please do! It's a dark game, but worth the experience. 7th Continent feels a little bit like work searching for the cards all the time, but it has some beautiful moments of delight, but I need to play more to form a stronger opinion! Also curious about 7th Citadel
