Halls of Hegra. Lately I have been on this solo only board game kick. This one often gets compared to Robinson Crusoe but I think it plays quite a bit differently. It's a lot more forgiving in the beginning and you are actually trying to prepare for the end. #hallsofhegra #boardgame #tabletopgame

Completed (lost) at my first game of Halls of Hegra at the end of turn 8. This was a tough game but I like it! The pressure on your actions builds exponentially and you soon find yourself in serious trouble. #hallsofhegra #ww2 #history #boardgames #solitairegames #imhavingmyone #imhavingmyonepodcast

The very intriguing Halls of Hegra. A solitaire, tower style defence, worker placement game rich in decisions and theme. Real shades of the Valiant Defence series from @djackthompson.bsky.social which is a very flattering comparison IMO! #hallsofhegra #boardgames #history #imhavingmyonepodcast

Got absolutely demolished in my first Halls of Hegra match. The German onslaught was relentless! Clearly, my wall defending setup needs a serious overhaul. I'm thinking of focusing more on adding troops on the defensive position sooner.
What are your go-to defensive strategies for this game?

Watch as we struggle against starvation, exhaustion, and the relentless tide of war in Halls of Hegra. A brutal solo board game experience. How long can we last before the walls collapse and history swallows us whole?

Halls of Hegra board and gameplay

Game #17: Halls of Hegra

This is one of two solo only games on my list but one of many on the list I primarily play solo. The challenge this game presents is phenomenal and I don't think I've had the same experience twice. I wish it was played more but this is a last minute backing I don't regret

🪖 I thought this might not be for me... Glad to say that so far I was wrong to doubt! Lovely big board full of detail, art style is evocative. More soon!

Halls of Hegra solo play setup

Finally found some time to play some games tonight after a long week and gave Halls of Hegra a play for the first time in a while. Continuously amazed by this game and a reason it’s one of my favorite only only plays. So difficult to win but a fun challenge for sure

Halls of Hegra. I actually played it a while ago but keep thinking about it. It’s a fantastic design.
