The closest thing to a precursor to the FDA was called the poison squad because it consisted of Harvey Wiley feeding literal poison to volunteers based on the literal poison he'd documented in the American food supply (that in a lot of cases was intended to cover up spoiled food)

If by "solo play" you mean "I played both sides" then yes lol It is a decent solitaire game in the sense that there's no hidden cards/covered units/etc, so you can play solo, but you'll be playing both sides vs having a bot or some sort of other opponent dynamic

It also has a novel "bot" that allows you to play a full game solitaire I'm still getting the hang of being able to smoothly execute the bot, but it's pretty nifty insidegmt.com/inside-gmt-o...

And that Twilight Struggle is Twilight Struggle: Red Sea. It's a standalone game, focused on the Horn of Africa/Arabian Peninsula and with a time epoch of late 60s through the 80s. Same basic dynamics, albeit some new cards. It is also more condensed (2 turns) so you can play a full game in an ~hour
