I'm too lazy to find the old thread. If you include a game in this discussion, please attach a theme, because games without themes are really just a pile of mechanics. I would like to see a solo game based on the book Moby *****, something like that Nemo game from VPG. - You could cruise around and try to get whale oil - You have to juggle your harpooners and decide how to arrange your crews on the whaling boats - There could be a Starbuck track. He is the most competent crew member, and is bound by his Christian morality to obey Ahab, but if you push him too far he might take the blunderbuss/gun and shoot you in your sleep, thus damning himself to hell while saving the crew - There are like nine encounters with other whaling ships, and each of them involves transactions and/or potential conflict or competition for whales - There is a degree of existential horror that is right up there with HP Lovecraft Maybe it would look something like Eldritch Horror. I doubt it would ever be popular given the theme.
