Who it's for

Solo players who want a wargame with narrative weight and a real difficulty curve, in the spirit of Robinson Crusoe.

Not for you if…

You want company at the table or a forgiving game – there is no multiplayer mode and no easy run.

Vibe's take

Anxious and absorbing – the first hour is quiet logistics, then the siege makes every earlier decision either hurt or hold.

About this game

Halls of Hegra is a solitaire game about the 1940 siege of a Norwegian mountain fortress, where you dig out the ruins and recruit volunteers, then find out whether an hour of preparation holds.
