Welcome to Ars Cardboard, our weekend look at tabletop games! Check out our complete board gaming coverage at cardboard.arstechnica.com—and let us know what you think.
I tend to mutter to myself when I play board games. Working out strategies, crunching numbers, fretting over tactical options—it’s an annoying habit that kicks into overdrive when I’m playing a game solo. (This is naturally to the eternal consternation of my longsuffering wife, who is often in the same room as I mumble endlessly about efficient wood-to-stone conversion rates.) But while I was doing a solo playthrough of the first scenario in The 7th Continent, a new cooperative adventure board game, most of my monologues came out as exclamations of surprised joy.Oh my God, that is SO cool.
Wait...but how does that… oh. Wow. Wowww.
What?!! I love that!!
