Iam a solo gamer who, when not dungeon crawling, really likes campaign, legacy and storybook games, even those not designed for solo play. Legacy of Yu did not disappoint.
In this game you (or Yu) are digging canals at the behest of Emperor Shun of the Xia Dynasty. There is a local town which supplies workers, provisions and building materials for this enterprise, but it also attracts the attention of barbarians. You win the game if you can build six sections of canal and reduce barbarians to two or fewer at the time of building the final section, but lose if you run out of townsfolk, if the barbarians completely overrun you or if the flood wave overcomes your site. Win or lose, you march onto the next town and the next sections of canal.
