One of my all time favorite boardgames is getting a digital release.  It's by an indie guy who has a passion for the game and he did a great job porting it some time ago but it's been stuck in legal rights hell for quite awhile.

If you haven't yet, you might want to check out a boardgame called Heart of Darkness.   It's similar to Source of the Nile, plays well solo or with a group, and is quite a fun experience.

I might actually have two copies.  I misplaced one, which was a birthday gift, so I bought another through Amazon's used store. Hoping to find the first copy still but I think it might have been purged accidentally.

Good tip.  I looked at this before a couple years back and at first it didn't seem interesting but in revisiting it, actually looks pretty good!
