Waterloo Solitaire: An Original Bookgame (Original Bookgames)

Bought this as a gift. For the price expected a substantial book, maybe hard back but at least a thick paperback. Disappointed as this is indeed paperback but so very thin. Not many pages and don't feel this is good value for money.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Waterloo Solitaire. It's a book style game that has a number of scenarios for both the French and British/Prussians. The book has the same map for each of the French side scenarios and then another for British/Prussian. You only need a couple of dice and a pencil to play the game. If this makes the game sound rather simplistic them you will find that actually a lot of tactical thinking is required, with each scenarios victory conditions becoming progressively more difficult.This game can be taken quite literally anywhere and if you photocopy one of the French and British maps and put them in a clear plastic pocket, you can use a wipe off marker pen to draw with, meaning you can play the game an infinite number of times.Highly recommended.

Nice solitaire dice game where you can enact both sides at Waterloo, in increasingly difficult scenarios. The paper is lowish quality so erasing pencil also remove the ink, but by the time you finish the book, you will have explored all this has to offer.

just the job
