I love Galdor's Grip that i commissioned a print shop for a high quality printout. Im also looking to print this again on my own using linen sheets. It's a game that's a part of my everyday carry. I never leave the house without it along with my phone, wallet and keys, as well as my EDC gaming device, and my earbuds. :)

I love Doom Machine. I have Rove too, and I enjoy it (enough to have gotten both new versions on the kickstarter) but... man, that game needs an undo function. I'll be noodling around with the cards, trying to plot out possible moves, and suddenly I'll realize I don't remember the original position. Doesn't happen a lot, but one time is enough to spoil a run.

Great playthrough, thanks. The combined missions you chose made it very tight so the priority for me would be to create the chemist lab first I think, knowing that both mission completions could have been made together and at the expense of a worker in each location (both are starred locations) I'm fairly new to the game, played only a handful of times but I do use a Tracker for the Malise - I feel it is something that works thematically - you would think that enemy patrols would have been studied during this period and patterns found in their movements, so for me I don't feel it in anyway breraks the game, I find it helpful but not a guarantee of success. I'm sure I've seen somewhere in BGG that the designer is ok with the use of a tracker too. However, I've seen other playthroughs with people not using one and they win often - but I think their memory is perhaps a little better than mine! Other Solo games you might consider (all on the lighter side): Skulls of Sedlec + Monstrance Solo Expansion, Trekking Through History using Solo 'Librarian' that can be printed out from their website , Port Royal + Just One More Contract Solo deck & For Northwood!. I've recently started to make PnP versions of games & really enjoy some of Jason Glove titles: Desolate, Iron Helm & Tin Helm - all great Solo games to play. Though if you don't want to do PnP, importing the games from The Game Crafter to the UK is crazy expensive. I also enjoyed your playthough of cascadia Solo - another favourite of mine. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for watching, and for your detailed comments. Yes, I think your approach would have improved my chances at winning, I must try again sometime with that mission combination: it was so tough! I think you’re right about the police tracker, I might give it a go to see how it affects my success. I didn’t realise Trekking Through History could be played solo: I love the overall look and artwork of that game so I’m very excited to hear I could solo it! I’ve ordered some Jason Glover games from the Game Crafter: his artwork is so cool and some of the mechanisms look really interesting. I did wince at the shipping cost! I usually have to wait for a few games I want to buy, then place a large order to make the postage worth while. I also keep looking at Port Royal, but I haven’t yet taken the plunge. I’ll add it to the list 🤩

I love Cascadia and Cartographers. Another game I play solo a lot is Calico. Lastly, I've just ordered Railroad Ink which I've played a bunch on BGA but I just want to have the physical game. I really enjoyed seeing you play through a few turns whilst also explaining how to play, it felt pretty natural and more like you teaching me in person rather than a more formal "how to play" tutorial type video.

Thanks for watching! I really wanted to give a sense of the different games so people could see if they work for them too. I’m glad you liked the format, I’ve got a video planned for February that I’m going to do in a similar style. I don’t have Calico although I love cats. I wasn’t sure if it was maybe a bit similar to Cascadia? I do like the look of Railroad ink. I think rolling to get the shapes you draw is a really neat idea, and it’s nice and compact which means it’s right up my street!

why no subtitles? Please set your language to english. TIA 3:50 add painter's tape on the back of the squares to give them enough friction. And your lamp has terrible glare. Friay btw has 4 loss conditions, one is not in the book. FF found the 4th while playing the app version. If you're capable of print and play, Rove, Ancient Realm, Galdor's Grip may be for you. Myself I would play Shephy, or Palm Island but both are probably too simple for you.
