"I Got Hooked on Solo Mode"

A quote from one of our Backer/playtesters.  Now it's time to share, The Balance of Power solo rules.

Can you match the Favor of the Old Guard? Will your ascendancy to the Fairy Crown end poorly? Find out with your new way to play Fickle!

You can download and print the .PDF rules from our website https://www.bardgames.fun/fickle-board-game-solo-play-rules/

Thank you to the many Backers who helped us test the Fickle Solo game rules! I am finding this a great way to try fairy combos I haven't played yet, and sharpen my skills when game nights return to normal. 

Dice Tower Unboxing

The Dice Tower is a well known board  game review site, and they have found Fickle! We are happy to see they are excited about the look and feel of Fickle, and we know that it was our amazing Backers that made it happen. Enjoy.

The gang at Dice Tower will be playing Fickle and doing their (unsolicited, unpaid) game review soon. Fingers crossed we get another, great review. If you want to share your love of the game, we would love your review on the Board Game Geek

Solo Play testers Needed

Solo Play Testers Needed

Hi folks! With so many of us working from home and doing our part to enjoy social isolation, there has been time to work on new content. 

So, I am excited to announce that Game Designer Glenn Cotter has a draft of Fickle SOLO rules!  

In Fickle- Balance of Power, you will play a 'solitaire' inspired game of Fickle. Your goal is to match the Favor Value of the Old Guard. Fast, fun and really takes advantage of the fact that you have over 26,000 ways to play!

To ensure the rules are clear and ready for everyone, Glenn is looking for 3-5 play testers this week. Glenn and Brandon will email our volunteers a PDF of the 3 page SOLO rules, and ask them to 'blind test' the rules. Then, they will send us feedback by Sunday Morning so we can make final edits and share the solo rules with all our backers next week. 

Oh, and did I mention this is all free content? We will make the Solo Rules available for everyone, after we test them.

If you would like play test the Solo rules for Fickle, please email me at [email protected] and I will get an email going with Glenn.
