Re: A solo Seven Spears game I played a while back (Japanese Dux)
I find that Dux works well solo as is, the random activation and deployment is good for me. If I get time for more games I might experiment a bit with some homebrew solo rules Richard

Re: Big WaT Games & Initiative
I draw chips or use cards to determine the initiative in multi-player games rather than dice. You might also want to think about splitting the table in two at least initially with 4 players at each so

Re: Big WaT Games & Initiative

Re: Big WaT Games & Initiative

Re: Big WaT Games & Initiative
