Our Review
Our rating: 7
Sojourn was created by Philip Loyer and published by Wyvern Gaming. It is a solo game that takes roughly 10–20 minutes to play through. Sojourn is probably hands down one of the best protoype game we’ve received to date, very high quality. I’ve played four times. Aaron has played five times. I have lost every single time. The cards are a great quality. The art accurately portrays an event in our history such as Vietnam War, September 11th, Challenger explosion, and Independence Day. The only suggestion I had for the designer was to, if possible, make the portal cards the same size as the Timestream cards. The portal cards are a little on the taller side and once stacked horizontally to the rules they take up a decent amount of space. The dates on the cards are important, so staggering them on top of each other would not work. — We hacked that rule a tad and placed our portals to the left and the right as we jumped through the portals. Overall, I would suggest this to our readers who enjoy solo player games or think they might want to give a solo game a try. Coming soon to Kickstarter!
