I am loving Lacrimosa, a medium-weight strategy game for 1-4 players. It reminds me so much of Obsession and I use that comparison throughout to highlight what I like about Lacrimosa. 

Players are patrons, set on spreading Mozart's music across Europe. However, they need to cleverly strengthen their deck, which will allow them to take more advantageous turns in this race to win the hearts of music lovers everywhere!

I also explore what I like about the solo experience in this video, so stay tuned.
