Did some Time of Crisis and decided to try Nemo's War again, published by VPG. This is a very thematic and fun solo game where you step into the shoes of Captain Nemo and command the submarine Nautilus, straight from the pages of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You get to decide before the game begins, however, how you want to play things; if you want to be a warmonger, you can choose that path. Science? Exploration? Whatever you choose defines the victory conditions, and also how hard the imperial powers come after you. It's been a while so I'm looking forward to re-learning the game.
It's also kind of sad that the high point of my weekend was finding these awesome plastic condiment cups at Dollar Tree and buying several as they'd make excellent component piece storage during games, or draw cups. Also, getting a sheet of felt at the store to silence my loud a$$ dice tower.
