Solacia - The Wizard of Doom - A Quick Look

[@Conflict_Boardgaming]

Have been watching these vids for a while, and now I think I will make a purchase of ALL those game books!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Wow, thanks! That should keep you busy into next year!!

[@willtijerina5149]

Available on Amazon now!

[@seahawk8601]

Found out about your games last week. Starting with Fields of Normandy but I am fairly certain i will end up buying the entire series. I don't know how to describe it but it is a strange but pleasant feeling when I find a designer like you who seemingly makes games "just for me". All the things you care about are all the things I care about and all the game design minutia you leave out are the things I want left out. Everything makes perfect sense it's just incredible.

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

That’s great to hear. I hope you keep on enjoying them. Thanks 👍

[@乾坤一擲-o9o]

​​@@mikelambosolitairebookgames Thanks! I also want to add that having your games as Amazon print on demand is brilliant. This means us late comers don't have to worry about the second hand availability of older games. And it looks like it allows you to update them in real time. I hope you continue to publish your books this way despite some vibes I got from your fans who are very opposed to Amazon. Just want to give you some feedback that there are those of us who really appreciate this mode of distribution.

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

@@乾坤一擲-o9o Thanks. They're also going on Wargame Vault (.com) now. Cheers.

[@bluebotic2327]

This looks fantastic!

[@chriscasc1984]

I’m discovering just now your games, thanks to Dungeon Dive FB group. Already won a campaign of Solacia and now I’m into Outpost 2099 and Hostage Rescue Squad. I love easy but quite involving games with high replayability! Can’t wait for more games!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Thank you - I'll have to check out that FB group!

[@johnpritchard7591]

Looks like you have another winner on your hands here Mike, but please an Air combat type game next? Some good ones out there I know but they lack the Lambo style!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

I keep coming back to air combat but haven't yet hit that perfect formula. I'll keep trying!

[@Mr.Bassman]

@@mikelambosolitairebookgames Please consider naval too! :) Great books, I own most of them so far!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

@@Mr.Bassman Always on my mind - just waiting for the right system to click!

[@NorthernInvasionTV]

Really looking forward to this one. Definitely one for the Christmas stocking. 🎉

[@FreshStartOFFICIAL]

Hi Mike, Definitely put all of your games on in WG Vault. Love them and I prefer printing because I'm traveling constantly. Thanks.

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

They are now all up there except for this one, but I'll add it soon. Thanks.

[@DudeWatIsThis]

This is GORGEOUS. Holy shit what a discovery!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Thanks!

[@darryelcochran1434]

Wargamevault will work fine. For instance they have all the Four Against Darkness books. ❤

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Thanks - good to know.

[@T_U3721]

Have played a couple of games in the series and had so much fun, but never imagined one on fantasy theme! This is the kind of games I want! Well-thought out, portable, approachable, no component creeps, low cost, high quality. ... Is it really necessary to dump hundreds of dollars for riding the hype train through an exhausting crowdfunding campaign "journey" in order to get a game like this, and without a mountain of dull, uninspiring grey plastic minis?

[@rbrentw]

Looks good. Are you using any special software or site (like Inkarnate) to make the hex maps or just a graphics program (PhotoShop, et al)?

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

No, just a standard WP package. Has taken me a few thousand hours to find all the hidden tricks and possibilities!!

[@Deltium5683]

Hi, just discovered your channel. I typically gravitate to big box medium/heavy games, and curious if you have a top 10 list of your favorites?

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

My favourites of my own games? No, I love them all!!

[@xavierzambrano1062]

The most heavy are Battles of Napoleonic Europe/ Long Range Recon Patrol / Assault on Vimy Ridge

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

@@xavierzambrano1062 Thanks - I'd agree with that.

[@ArcadEdio]

Awesome! Do you know when it will be available on Amazon?

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Very soon. Just waiting for approval.

[@FabioSpelta]

I'm curious about the process you go through when you create a game, especially playtesting. Do you have any playtesters that review your games before publishing or do you do everything on your own?

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Absolutely everything on my own, from start to finish. It’s not the easiest or most efficient way to do things, but it’s the way for me!

[@hnyuhogn9711]

so this time we are an Australian wizard who fights with Australian monsters, right? :))

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

Yes, if that's what you want to imagine!!
