Ep 139 - The Last Lighthouse: A Scott Almes Simply Solo game from Button Shy

Welcome to Second Star to the Left! Here’s where we share board game reviews, ramblings, and a few wrong turns along the scenic route!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
We're having a look at the latest Scott Almes game in the Simply Solo line from Button Shy!
Check out The Last Lighthouse on Kickstarter:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/the-last-lighthouse?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=lighthouse
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At the edge of the horizon, the nightmares begin. You, and you alone, defend the lighthouse that keeps them at bay. Can you keep this beacon shining until the dawn, or will you succumb to the spreading darkness?
The Last Lighthouse is the next Simply Solo entry from Scott Almes.
Protect against an ever-growing line of unique nightmares by deploying specialized traps. Place traps wisely to eliminate as many nightmares as possible before they damage your lighthouse and ultimately destroy it. With elegant rules and multiple levels of difficulty, The Last Lighthouse offers plenty of challenge for both casual and dedicated players.
The Last Lighthouse is the next title in the Simply Solo line, following Food Chain Island, Ugly Gryphon Inn, Unsurmountable, Fishing Lessons, and The Royal Limited. These titles were designed by Scott Almes for single-player only, focusing on elegant rules that create complex situations. Like the previous four games, The Last Lighthouse delivers a fun puzzle that’s sure to hit the table again and again.

Idea: Billie goes on other channels and makes snarky commentary as they play. Think about it, Jeff and Jamie are playing Villianous, Billie is making them lose concentration. Tyler and Ilya are reviewing games, and Billie is vehemently defending RPGs. I would watch that for days. lol This game looks really fun, and thanks for the priview.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

This honestly made me laugh so much! Billie thinks it's a great idea (of course!)

[@Worldtinkerer]

That looks really good :)

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It's really fun! But then again, I tend to like Button Shy solo games 😊

[@ChewieHuey]

It was great meeting you at Pax. Always a lovely smile.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Thank you. It was great to meet you!

[@dabruuzer]

Great vid! I downloaded the preview PnP and really like it! Thanks for actually clarifying a couple of rules for me.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Thank you! It's a fun little game!

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

Very fun overview. Nightmares scare me so may skip this one. Too spooky

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

It is a bit spooky! But not if you win 😊

[@malvinafis6907]

Looks great. Love a solo scott almes game ... if only shipping and customs to Europe weren't that bad. I really need to figure out how to make a game out of the PnP files

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

The PnP for these isn't bad at all. I usually don't play PnP but I've done a few of these with sleeves and it's worked out well

[@malvinafis6907]

@@SecondStartotheLeft I'll send you a message on discord to get a hint of how to do it :)

[@jamesbrazeal3847]

No light, you lose. So must place light house.

[@SecondStartotheLeft]

Gotta keep that light house lit!
