As a solo gamer, Nordic Weasel is my go-to producer of great rule sets designed for my particular gaming preference. The beauty is that games designed as solo experiences translate WAY easier to cooperative or opposed play than the other way around. For games meant to be played against an opponent, there is usually an "empty" feel to a set of solo play rules. Overly simplified AI, enemies that simply run full speed across the table like a pack of mindless zombies, and other oddities can make the enemy feel less "thinking" and lean towards random behavior.

I really appreciate that there is some ongoing support and development for this game as well, with the third expansion just being released. Expansions have created new enemy types, new locations, and (most important) new loot.

I'd give this 6-stars if I could.

Addition of mutations in this one are great. Vehicle rules are functional, but I think you are going to want a larger playing space than the prescribed 1x1' space. That is a little like putting a car in a wrestling ring. Could be funny, but I think more space would feel better.

Again, rules are quick and easy to understand, but allow for as much simplicity or complexity as you desire.

These would make a great entry level gaming experience. While simple, I like the points value method of adding to your thrashers. I think that gives it just enough variation that there is some control over your character build, but in the end you still just end up with an attack modifier and a defense modifier. That makes opposed rolls pretty easy.

Once everyone gets the hang of the basics, the system pretty quickly and easily allows for a more complex level of play, and makes house rules easy enough to add without breaking the delicate balance of the rules.
