Stop Somewhere Podcast

This episode considers the difference between games designed as solitaire experiences with traditional multiplayer games that have solo modes. Orchard exemplifies the solo game as well as a great introductory and small footprint game. We end with a guided meditation in the spirit of the farmer of an orchard.

You just lost the other Game, didn’t you? This short episode introduces the goals of this podcast and the space I am looking to create for cozy board games, RPGs, and other solo hobbies.
