Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Solo board gaming: Finding ways to play when other people aren’t around

February 11, 2016

Over the past few months, I’ve really started discovering solo board gaming.

The group I play games with usually meets once a week on Saturdays. Though I’d love to be there every week, the reality is I sometimes have other plans. That means it could be a few weeks before I get to sit down and play a few games with others.

I enjoy the hobby of board games, so sometimes I just want to play a game or two and there might not always be people around to do so.

Shephy is quickly becoming my best solo gaming experience.

Shephy is quickly becoming my best solo gaming experience.

That has led me to look more into solo gaming, so I can get my fix at different points when I’d like to play a few games. I have some multi-player games (such as Nations and Le Havre) that have solo variants. I’ve only tried the Nations one once (it’s solid), but I’m not always in the mood to set up a game like that.

I own Friday, which is a high-rated solo game, but it consistently whips me.

So I needed to look around a bit more. In fact, it’s become something that I look at when buying games – is there a solo variant and does it interest me?

Solo gaming is a definitely not for everybody. There are some games I don’t think I’d enjoy with the solo variant. Some don’t have a “winner” per say, rather you are looking to achieve a certain level etc.

I have several games I need to learn the solo variants, though, such as Imperial Settlers. I haven’t played that game since last year’s ConnCon, and this might be a way to get it to the table, if even my own.

It’s a good way to get a gaming fix.

There’s something about the bigger games that scares me off, though. I’m not too sure what it is, but part of it is definitely the setup and cleanup. I’m hoping to eventually have a bit more time for gaming in the next few months, so maybe it needs to be a more proactive approach, such as setting up a game the night before, then having it available when I come home from work.

Until then, I’ve picked up a few card-based games that are fun in the solo world. I picked up all three games in the “Oniverse,” and so far I like what I’ve seen. I’m trying to tackle them one at a time so I can truly understand them and I’ve only brought one to the table so far – Onirim.

Dice City is a good multi-player game that plays well solo.

Dice City is a good multi-player game that plays well solo.

I’ve had the chance to play that one four times (and beaten it just once), but it’s challenging and fun. The idea is to get the keys to unlock the eight doors. It’s not easy to do so, but it’s doable. There are also seven expansions with the game and I need to start figuring them out, though I’m having fun with the base game.

The other two in the Oniverse – Sylvion and Castellion – both look amazing. The artwork in all three games is really awesome. I’ve yet to tackle either of those games yet, but I’m looking things over and plan on playing them soon. Sylvion looks really interesting and I like that Castellion is a solo tile-laying game.

I’ve also played a few multi-player games that have been decent solo, specifically Flip City and Dice City, with the latter being pretty cool and one that took long enough that it felt like a pretty cool gaming experience.

Recently, I also added Hostage Negotiator to my collection. A strictly solo game, the game has you as a negotiator and working to free hostages. I haven’t played it yet as I’m still going through the rules, but I’m excited to get going with it. There are expansions, too, so if I really enjoy the game I plan on ordering those.

But the one game that I’ve really enjoyed lately was Shephy. It’s a small and fun card game where you are trying to put a big enough herd of sheep together before the bad sheep get too big of a herd. It’s challenging (I haven’t won yet), and it’s made as a solo game. I had seen photos of the game on Instagram and then went searching for it.

Turns out it’s not the easiest of games to find.

After searching the Board Game Geek forums, I found somebody who had been selling some and had them. I ordered one and had it a week or two later (came from Europe) and I was off and running with it. It’s a fun little game, easy to travel with and doesn’t take too long. At some point, hopefully I’ll even beat the game!

Solo gaming has been a lot of fun. Would I rather play in a group and such? Sure. But it’s also nice to know there are great solo games out there for those who want that aspect of playing board games.

How about you? Do you solo game? If so, what are some of your go-to picks?

Not that I need another hobby…

I’ve recently had the chance to mess around with some radio controlled cars. I have always enjoyed the aspect of these and have wanted to own one.

Truthfully, wanted to get something I could fly – such as a plane or a helicopter. But, here’s my issue there – if I don’t understand how things work well enough, I could crash one of these marvelous machines. If that happened and it was a bad crash, I could be out the money I invested just like that.

I feel a little more secure with a radio controlled car.

Zoooooooooooom!

The research aspect here is quite important as I want to make sure the one I get is one with low maintenance. I’m not one of those people who can tweak and play with things to get more performance out of something. Therefore, I need something that does what I need it to do, without much tinkering. I also opted for battery power (despite knowing I won’t get as much time out of it without extra batteries), because I think there’s less of a chance something crazy could happen. I’ve seen some of the gas-powered ones and there’s so much tinkering. I know the performance seems to be better, but I can dig the battery work.

The real issue here is I am not sure what is good and what is bad. I have some ideas as I have a friend who is an RC nut (he does airplanes/cars etc.) and he gave me a good idea. The one I am looking at is in the price range I want to spend, though I’d have to but an extra battery or two and likely a rapid charger. It seems you get anywhere from 15-30 minutes out of a battery and without the rapid recharger, it could take upward of six hours for a new charge. That’s why having that and an extra battery or two would be handy.

But why, right? I already have enough hobbies, between geocaching, the blog, softball, photography and, when time allows, disc golf.

This, though, is basic.

It will get me to go outside when other things aren’t going on, be moving around and trying different things. I’ll have to find some good places to take the car, but it could be some fun. And that’s the big thing here – being out and moving. I know some fun little spots I could take this car and from the videos I’ve been looking at, it appears like it can take a good little beating, too.

I also think it would be fun to have when out geocaching. Many geocaching places take you to nice trails or rugged terrain. This truck could come along and mix the two hobbies together. Plus, I could put a trackable on the RC car and people could discover it.
Not only that, but it should give me more chances for photography or making videos. I’d really like to find out how to mount a small camera on top of the car…
Though I have a lot of things on my plate, I also think this could be a relaxing way to spend 30-60 minutes every couple of days. The aspects of being outside and moving around and having some fun doing it makes it even more appealing.

Now I just have to pick the car I’d like to have … and the accessories.

Geocaching can be a way to forget about life for a while

January 30, 2013

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about geocaching.

And that’s probably because I haven’t been doing it much. With all the other things going on in life, I haven’t really been out finding things. Part has been the weather — I’ve definitely turned into more of a fair-weather geocacher — and it’s also part because there’s not much locally I haven’t found. It makes no sense to waste gas money to travel 40 or more miles to get a micro.

Caching in the winter can make for some interesting ways to make a find.

So, I try and budget time for a few caches whenever I go somewhere.

As long as all goes well, that will change this weekend. Me and a few friends are going to do an old-fashioned geocaching day. It will include 20 or so caches (as long as all goes well) and an event. We’ll leave early enough to cache before the event and leave with time to hit a few more on the way home and make a fun day of catching up and caching.

I miss days like that, so hopefully it will be good to do.

The reality is, my mind has been pretty much wondering about employment. That’s why I try and mix things up, whether it be blogging, caching, the new homebrewing obsession, photography or something else. The mind needs to wander. Life isn’t grand right now, that’s for sure. But as long as I can keep my sanity, I’ll hopefully get through all of this.

Geocaching is one of those activities that help make you forget about life for a while. You get out, get a little exercise, enjoy nature and find some plastic boxes in the woods, or whatever else has been hidden.

The event is one I’ve wanted to attempt for a couple of years. In its third year, it’s held on a frozen lake. They fish, they grill, they play croquet (hell yeah!) It’s also a chance to get outside, breathe some fresh air and enjoy life a little.

Saturday’s weather forecast seems perfect for this — 27 degrees and partly cloudy. I just hope the crazy weather we’ve had yesterday and today won’t mess it up. It’s been rainy and today could reach the 50s.

We did have two weeks of frigid temperatures, so hopefully the ice is thick enough to withstand this unseasonably warm wave. It would stink to not be able to actually go out on the ice! Tomorrow is supposed to start the decline in temperatures with a high around 40 and it keeps dipping to 26 (with a few snow showers) on Friday and then 27 on Saturday.

I am ready to get out and find some caches!

There will be the caches, too. Though several are park-and-grabs, there are a few of bigger sizes, which is nice. I even did the planning the way I used to — somewhat in-depth, to hopefully help us grab a whole heap of caches.

There might not be a ton of snow still, but there will likely be enough to make it feel like caching in the winter. Snow poses its own set of difficulties when caching, especially when caches are low to the ground!

But, it’s nice to get out in the winter, too. There should be photo opportunities this weekend and it will be fun to catch up with a few others I haven’t hung out with in a while.

And we’ll get some smileys to boot.

Everybody needs a way to get away and escape reality. Hopefully this weekend will allow me to do so.

Now to figure out where the heck I put my GPS so I can load it and be ready!

Collecting baseball cards isn’t just for kids anymore

August 2, 2012

Baseball cards have come a long way since I was a kid… such as this John Kruk card which features his autograph on a piece of a bat as well as a piece of a jersey.

Note: This is the first in a short series of stories I’ll be doing about collecting baseball/sports cards. The rest of the series will run in the near future.

Baseball has always been a passion of mine.

Though I’ve always been a Phillies fan, I’ve had bouts of “fandom” with some other teams, usually based on their hats. These were all as a kid though. Some of those teams include the Angels, Expos, White Sox and Reds.

I know, at one point, I even had a Mets hat, but I know for a fact I never cheered for them. (Though, to be fair, I was a HoJo fan and Dave Magadan has always been one of my favorites).

Anyway, the love affair with baseball goes back to when I was a kid. I had a hand-me-down Larry Bowa jersey at one point. I never got to go to a live game in Philly as a kid, but I do remember going and watching the Oneonta Yankees at least once a summer.

It’s quite a full circle knowing I got to cover the Oneonta Tigers, the team that replaced the O-Yanks, during my professional life.

It’s crazy to know guys you are covering at a low-level of the minor leagues have cards already — especially autographs and the such.

As a kid, I spent much of my summers with a ball, glove and bat. We had pick-up games and just threw the ball. If necessary, I could play ball by myself, whether it was hitting a ball in an open field, throwing pop-ups to myself or using a tennis ball and throwing it at a wall or set of steps.

There was something else that was part of my childhood — baseball cards.

Oh how I loved baseball cards. Despite the fact that they were cards from the 80s — when many thought cards would pay for their college, but the explosion of so many cards eventually made prices drops extremely fast.

Nonetheless, I never thought about that.

Heck, many of the cards I had ended up strewn about or stuffed in boxes. I never cared for them. I could have had a Ricky Henderson rookie. Or Don Mattingly. Or that Mark McGwire Team USA card. Who knows? Maybe there was a Cal Ripken Jr. rookie or something.

But I never worried about that.

See, we knew every year when the new Topps cards were coming out. The one local gas station got boxes in each year and we’d be all ready for it.

Oh the excitement of opening those old wax packs! The cards were awesome! And without the Internet, we never knew what the design was going to be until we opened the packs. And then there was the gum — oh that hard, pink gum placed in packs. It was awful, but we chewed it nonetheless. At that time, packs were something like 25 cents each.

We’d sift through those cards for days and weeks. Until we got enough money to buy more packs and then we’d run out and see who we could get. It was always a score if you got someone from your favorite team. And if someone else got one? Well, you could trade!

And how many of you remember flipping? I would do it sometimes, but boy I hated it. People cheated at times with it and if you didn’t catch on, you could lose your cards in a hurry.

Then I grew up.

Probably my best pull.

Baseball cards, of course, were for kids. Who had time for those things? There was high school. And college. And buying cars. And hanging out with friends. When age 21 came, there was beer and bars.

Baseball cards? Never again. Sure, I’d buy a pack or two here and there, just for the hell of it. But I wasn’t a collector. I just thought it was fun to crack a pack here and there. I had to see what the new cards looked like. It’s not like I was ever going to start collecting again.

Right.

A funny thing happened on the way to the card shop…

I can’t put my finger on where I got the bug again. It was in the early 200os though. If I had to bet, it was probably when I started covering professional baseball. It was short-season Single-A, so basically the bottom level of baseball (not including the Florida instructional leagues). Some of those players were card collectors.

Heck, some of those guys had cards.

Say what?

I remember, again as a kid, that some minor league teams had team card sets made up. But it’s not like they were anything major. I mean, heck, those cards weren’t Topps or any company people took seriously.

Were they?

So back to these players. Some of the top picks had cards out there. Not only did they have cards, they had authentic autograph cards and there were also cards with pieces of a jersey or bat or something else in them.

Wait a second — what ever happened to wax packs, bad bubble gum and regular cards? This was getting serious, it seemed.

Seriously, I got this Schmidt card (15/15) for like $15 on eBay. Nuts!

Soon after, I picked up a copy of Beckett Baseball. I had read this magazine back in the day, but I wanted to get a grasp of things. And it opened my eyes to the hobby and how it has grown. I started to research more and more as I was intrigued.

From there, I found eBay was a haven for cards. That helped me become addicted. Though, to be fair, I was pretty good about it. I capped myself on prices of cards, kept a watch on what people charged for shipping and stayed within the budget. I got caught up in a couple of card battles on eBay, losing most, thankfully. I’ve never really gone too high with card prices. The highest I’ve paid for one card was about 50 bucks, a Peyton Manning autograph card.

One of my prize pieces of my collection — a Robin Roberts autograph card.

I soon realized this wasn’t just a kid thing anymore. Adults do it. Maybe a little too much in that prices are through the roof. Buying high-end packs can become really costly.

I became a collector again and I haven’t regretted it. I still buy packs sometimes, but I am more into collecting certain players. I collect most Phillies. I try and grab cards of players I covered in Oneonta and players who visited. I also have several people I collect in hopes of getting all their cards — Larry Christenson (my childhood favorite pitcher); Tom Brookens, Bill Monbouquette, Jon Matlack, Andy Barkett and Luis Quinones.  All but Christenson have connections to the O-Tigers from the time I was there.

I’ll have more on that in a future edition of this series.

It’s been fun though. It’s a cool hobby and I’ve had a great time trying to find cards. I’ve hit up a couple of card shows and have a good time there. I always find something cool at a good price and I truly enjoy sifting through cards or just checking out displays. One day, I’ll find a way to head to the National Sports Collectors Convention. This year it’s in Baltimore, which would have been nice, but it’s out of the price range this year!

The hobby has come a long way since the days of me buying wax packs, flipping cards, putting them in bike spokes and trading Dave Winfield cards to get another Pete Rose card. The cards are way more intense, with some high-price items in sets.

I love collecting certain players — such as my favorite Phillies pitcher as a kid, Larry Christenson.

There’s still room for kids, though. The basic packs can still be found in stores at a decent price, sometimes just 99 cents per pack. But there’s that bridge now — cross it and it’s a point of no return.

At least it seems that way to me!

I’ve yet to buy a high-end box. I’ve dabbled with some $8-$10 packs, but that’s about it. And I haven’t done it in a long time, for obvious reasons. For the most part, though, I stick with cheaper blaster boxes a couple of hobby packs here and there.

I can dream of that big hit, though.

There’s a feature that’s in the monthly Beckett magazine — a place where people can show off their pulls. Some of these pulls are simply incredible. Cards worth hundreds of dollars or more.

I hope one day I’ll have a pull good enough to send in to the magazine.

Until then, I’ll be happy with the small things and seeking out cards I need to fill something. One thing is for sure, it still gives the feel of a kid whenever you find a card you need or just ripping over a pack. I hope that feeling never goes away when it comes to collecting cards.

Notes: If you look at the top of the page, you’ll see a “Cards” link. I am trying to organize my collection and have a place where I can scan the cards and have a place for them. This will be the place. Over the next few months, I’ll be working on that page and the sub pages. Feel free to check it out. If you’re somewhat of a collector, I’ll have a page setup for cards I’m willing to part with as well as a “wanted” list. If I have something you want, feel free to give a shout and maybe we can work out a trade of sorts. I’m also going to eventually package up many of my “commons” or non-signed/game-used cards, package them as teams and likely give them away or trade for other items. Check back at some point to see what I have with those!

Carving your place in the hobby world

January 3, 2012

Who knew how in-depth carving your own stamps could be?

As a long-time geocacher, I have always been interested in the letterbox hybrids. Maybe it’s because of the different and not-so-often used icon. Maybe it’s because it’s different.

But I like them.

The stamps, the idea of them. It’s a different side of the game.

To go back in time, however, letterboxing was my first interest. That interest never came to fruition, however. I started geocaching March 1, 2008. But earlier that winter, the friend who introduced me to geocaching had mentioned letterboxing. I had done a little research on it and it seemed cool.

You got clues and had to follow them to find the treasure. When you got there, you used the stamp to make an imprint in your log book and then took your stamp and put it in the log book that resided in the box.

That sounded fun.

Alas, it was a tough winter. A bunch of snow and with everything else happening, we opted to wait until spring to try it. Of course, geocaching came along and pushed letterboxing back. I came across letterboxes many times during my caching excursions. It seems letterboxers and geocachers think alike in placing these items!

When I found one, I always looked. Sometimes I’d sign the log thinking I would like to try and find these online. I soon purchased a stamp and stamp pad at an art store to carry with me, in case I came across one or two or found the letterbox hybrids.

Still, I didn’t sign up anywhere.

Alas, this year has been tough. Without a steady flow of income, I looked to do more things around here. Late in the year, I found letterboxing and just a week or two ago, I went and found a few for my first “official” finds. I was still using that store-bought stamp, however.

I realized that most people didn’t use the store-bought type. I looked through past finders and saw some amazing stamps.

Luckily, Santa came through with a basic carving kit and a few other things needed to get carving.

I did my first carve Monday.

Getting things ready to start carving!

After reading a whole heap on carving and such, I found a piece of are that I thought would be somewhat easy to carve. With my love of my Irish heritage and because I often think of my trip to Ireland back in 2010, I decided a shamrock would be a perfect first carve. I found one I liked and went forward by tracing the image and then transferring it to the carving block.

I liked how the trace came out and it gave me an idea on what to do. I used several different carving bits to get the thickness and all. It was a learning process to me as I slowly carved away the pink rubber.

Carving, itself, was easy enough. You get rid of the open space to that your image is raised, becoming the stamp.

The tighter spots were harder. I had to switch out the carving tools for smaller bits, which was interesting to learn each one. I look forward to doing stamps with greater detail down the line.

In the end, this one didn’t take me too long. From start to finish, maybe about an hour or so. I thought for my first go at it, it came out OK. Some of the sides are a little sloppy, but I think that gives it a little character. Being I have a green ink pad, I at least had the color I think the stamp should be in!

The final product.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this stamp.

After reading a lot about letterboxing, I know that there are personal travelers that people can gather by meeting you. Because I know I’d like to get more into letterboxing, I did that with this one. I want to go to events and meet up with fellow letterboxers. And being this is my first carve, it’s a little special to me!

If you want to see the page for the personal traveler, click here.

I plan on attempting to carve my personal stamp sometime today or this week. I have a few other designs I want to try out as well. It’s a nice way to spend an hour or two when you feel “artsy.” It’s probably a good thing to be able to take a break from writing cover letters and sending out resumes to do something like this. Then I can go right back at it.

I am going to need to order some more rubber stamp material, however, as I think I’ll be going through what I have pretty quickly!

Now I just need to find some letterboxing events that aren’t far from me as I’d love to go to one. There are several in Massachusetts, so I’d be looking at a three-hour ride. I’m hoping to find some closer to me. And heck, depending where this job hunt takes me, maybe I’ll find myself in a letterbox hotbed!

So those of you reading — have you carved your own stamps? Any tips? And if you’re a letterboxer, leave your thoughts on the game, stamps and whatever else in the comments section!
