Long Meg & Her Daughters by Becca May is a solo journaling game inspired by the folklore surrounding England’s third widest stone circle. The player takes on the role of Long Meg, the matron of a coven of witches who battle against a powerful wizard that will turn the witches into stone. The theme and mechanics of the game are cleverly tied together, with Long Meg’s magical protection being playing cards laid out in a circle, which aesthetically resembles a stone circle. The art of this game is gorgeous and the layout of an example game is very useful. The writing is evocative and tells the story of a defiant struggle against a superior foe and fate itself. It’s also very cool to learn about the history of the stone circle and the folklore that inspired the game. I can’t recommend this game enough!
