Hello!
My name is Sam and I write Solitary Quest.
Board Games are a big part of my life. I enjoy playing them, thinking about their rules and mechanisms, connecting with new people over them, and dabbling in designing them.
​​
Solitary Quest started in 2023 when I began writing down my thoughts on 1-player-friendly tabletop gaming. For the most part, I write in-depth reviews of new and classic games, and will normally focus on the game's 1-player experience.
I also write about board games in K-12 education, event wrap-ups, and other topics.

Content Policy
Primarily, I write about games that I am interested in playing. This means I'm typically writing with a some sort of tentative, baseline-positive predisposition to any given game. But I am also always interested in trying new things. Use the contact form to get in touch if you would like me to play and ponder your game for review. I do not write explicitly promotional material for games or other products and I typically do not write about games with active crowdfunding campaigns.​
​
I will not review games that promote hate, bigotry, harassment, transphobia, misogyny, racist views, or other forms of discrimination.​​
