1x1 is a one-off e-zine dedicated to solo gaming, playable without computers. I am particularly interested in games not commercially manufactured but I do enjoy some solo rules variants of commercial board games. And I have a love of games playable with standard items like a regular card deck, pen and paper, dice, and dominos.

## Intro
While I do also enjoy the occasional solo rules variants of commercial games, particularly fan-made ones, there are many other places to find that kind of thing online.

Perhaps my most beloved solo gaming currently are games playable with standard items like a regular card deck, pen and paper, dice, and dominos. Bringing a small ruleset, and a notebook to the park, maybe with a die or two, sounds about ideal right now. Maybe I should commission games that can only be played in the park, with items found there, now that's an idea.

In general, I tried to find creative commons and similar licensed games. Many game creators may be removed from the world of software, Linux, or other entry points to the world or ideas of free, libre and open source software, but are still sharing their materials online or through other means hoping to find friends, fellow players, and community, but even though they published rules I decided to focus on explicitly labeled CC works for this.

James Chip runs the wonderful Micro fiction games jam, which has run in 3 editions as of the date I'm writing. The Micro fiction games jam is open to folks that create *very* short format games, always on a theme. The 2022 theme was "Item, Alcove and Haunt" and attracted 35 entries by my count.
