Welcome to Solosaurus, a podcast about one player board and card games. In this episode, Carter and Brandon discuss the latest solo news and take a look at a fan-made solo variant for The Voyages of Marco Polo? Was its critical acclaim well-deserved? Does it work as a solo game? And most importantly: Is it better than the Netflix show about Marco Polo?  Many thanks to BGG user orlopesdesa for creating the solo variant!
