My plan for January was to focus on learning an entirely new musical instrument…a synthesizer.
But it’s on backorder until February so I was trying to figure out what else to to occupy my time.
Enter: board games! Specifically, I wanted to try some board games that I could play solo which is a new concept to me.
Monday a giant box arrived from 401 Games and I cracked it open to find some monstrous sized boxes. The first I tried was Dune Imperium which is highly rated for its solo game playing ability.
It’s wild how time flies when you’re having fun or learning a game for the first time. After watching a few videos and reading the manual a few times I managed to squeeze in two rounds and said “I’ll take a break” and found it to be already 10:30pm! I’m sure it will move faster in the future.
So far I am enjoying the game. You can read actual reviews online about it from seasoned veterans. But for now, I enjoy the mechanics of it and I (of course) love that it’s in the Dune universe which is a favourite of mine.
Playing solo is fun as you don’t have other players hounding you to ‘move along already”!
