I have been a board gamer for many years. I've had a love for pirate games both board and digital: Merchant and Marauders, Sea of Thieves to name some. I also enjoy the occasional Lord of the Rings version of Warhammer, Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
One day I stumbled on Master and Commander: Black Seas. This looked right up my alley: a naval miniatures war game. After much research I found Sails of Glory. I saw there are some solo rules and as I tend to play mostly solo, I decided to pull the trigger on SoG instead of Master and Commander. I also like the rule set of SoG much better as it has simultaneous play (which is so much more thematic) and a more realistic damage/repair system.
I'm doing more homework as I wait for the starter set and battle mat to get to me this weekend.
If you have any recommendation for Solo rules (I see powder monkey is very popular) or other ways to spice up solo play, such as event cards, please do recommend!
Thank you.
