I think there is a good solo scenario here.


Franklin Expedition: 1845 - ?

British:
HMS Erebus (Hecla class bomb vessel)
HMS Terror (Vesuvius-class bomb vessel)

Special Rules:
1. Place both vessels on a solid white surface.
2. Turn out the lights.
3. Movement cards will not be needed.
4. Draw damage counters until the entire crew is dead of scurvy, lead poisoning, alcohol poisoning, cannibalism, or Polar Bear.

Victory:
None.

Points:
+5 for playing this scenario in a walk in freezer.

Reference material: The Terror by Dan Simmons.
