Speaking of comfort games, this arrived today. Super cosy, very easy to set up and get going. It’s also my first true roll and write: I have a few flip and write games but *I don’t like dice* so this will hopefully challenge my preconceptions about dice-driven games. I’ll have a play with it later this week. #BoardGames #sologaming

@emmahunneyball Castles of Burgundy got me over my dice hate. I still don’t like dice used for movement but they offer a different challenge in other types of games.

I’m very interested in what you think of Three Sisters.

@howrandom that’s interesting, it’s the randomness of dice used for movement that puts me off, too. Hopefully this will broaden my horizons a bit. I have to admit I’ve avoided Castles of Burgundy because of the dice; if I like Three Sisters I’ll definitely look into it.

@emmahunneyball Castles has workers to mitigate bad dice rolls. With 1 - 3 workers you can make any number from a dice. A lot of games have something similar such as Lorenzo il Magnifico with servants.
