Hard City and AI Modes for Heavier Euros

First things first: if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, you should call this number if you're in the US:

800-273-8255   You're worth getting the help you need.   ~~~   The first half of this episode is on the cop-zombie-b-movie-co-op-game-thing called Hard City. It's a game I genuinely didn't know much about before getting my hands on a review copy, and... it's mostly pretty okay!   In the second half of the episode, I look at the solo modes of heavier Euro games Kanban EV and Praga Caput Regni, thinking in particular about whether AI modes are appropriate for solo play for these games. (Spoiler: Kanban EV is surprisingly awesome, and Praga is... fine.)   Timestamps below!   Intro: 0:00   Thanks, Stone Valley Games!: 2:51   Hard City: 3:55   AI Modes, Heavier Euro Games, and More!: 16:04   ~~~   I'd love it if you took a moment to check out my Patreon and, if you have the means, join as a Patron. If there is anything in here that you're not seeing that you'd like to have added, drop me a line (BGG username: neotrunks2002).   Make sure to check out Stone Valley Games for a great collection of solo games, and let them know if you made it there because of this podcast.
