I’ve shared this at r/boardgames and r/physics (which seems to have booted it, which is a shame) but if this isn’t the right place to share this, I don’t know what is.

Pentaquark is a solo-only deck preservation game about particle physics. You are trying to give science a helping hand by collecting the 5 quarks that form this particle at the detector of a massive particle collider. Move cards you need to the detector, discard others so they may come back as anti-quarks, and try to minimize the number of quarks scattered and lost. If too many cards are removed from the game, the Pentaquark has slipped through undetected once again!

The game was designed by Mike Mullins (Bottom of the 9th, and the solo modes on Fleet Wharfside, Castle Dice, Lagoon, Compounded and more). Mike is an excellent designer and developer, but his wheelhouse is solo gaming. I told him I wanted to see a solo game and a deck building game in our 18-card micro series and he did both. In one game.

The game is getting killer reviews, but you can try it out yourself on the Kickstarter page. The black and white PNP is there, as well as links to many of the reviews.

If this sounds up your alley, it’s just $10, free US shipping, about to hit it’s second stretch goal (which is a completely different solo game of its own) and it’s fulfilling in November.

Thanks everyone!
