Ep 20 - Clans of Caledonia & The Freedom of Playing Without Players

Game Description end at 8.09

In this episode Scruffy and Kendall talk about one of their favourite games to play together, Clans of Caledonia. They look at the three ways to play Clans solo, focusing mainly on the solo mode in the rulebook and the fan made automa.  Throughout they try to pin down what makes the game work so well for them solo, diving into topics of intrinsic vs extrinsic reward and what is left in place of your opponent when you take them away for a solo experience. See if you can spot Scruffy calling whiskey ale at one point in the episode… Silly goose!

Listener question:  What is your favourite win condition in a solo game?
