I’ve tried several different tabletop skirmish games lately. I’m looking for some smaller-scale battles that are light on rules and let me use my own minis. Bonus points for a solo mode. Stuff like One Page Rules, Frostgrave, or Space Station Zero.

This week I tried Forbidden Psalm - a dark, apocalyptic/medieval skirmish game. It’s a brutal setting with a hint of humor. “A game of blood, metal and death” where you can help the Mad Wizard locate his misplaced socks.

The game system is stripped=to=the-bones simple. The settings and lore are minimal but evocative. The battle scenarios are quick and exciting. It fits on my table with room to spare. It also goes well with my fractal terrain pieces and plants. I love to get them on the table and use them as intended. :)
