It seems that All Bridges Burning was able to bring something new and captivating on the table in the tried and tested COIN Series.

All Bridges Burning: Solitaire System Part 1

As we speak, All Bridges Burning is all finished and the components have been sent to the printer. The wait is almost over!

In a range of previous InsideGMT articles we spent a great deal of time looking at the game’s treatment of the Finnish Civil War. Alongside that, a series of event card spoilers were published in the Player’s Aid blog (links to the event card spoilers can be found here).

In the present article, we will look in detail at the solitaire system for All Bridges Burning. We do so by continuing the non-player example of play to be contained in the Playbook of the game. Once you have received your copy of the game, this article can serve as a further learning resource when using the game’s solitaire system. I plan to continue to play through this example of play in a series of future posts.

However, before we get on with the example of play, let’s talk a little bit about the solitaire system.
