Dude, awesome list. A lot of my favorite games in there. Hadrian's Wall is one of the best solo games I've ever played, easily a top 5 for me. And I see Obsession on the wall behind you. Your family has great taste!

Paleo has a solo variant. You start with 0 food and can use dice to ask for help. It just required you to discard x cards per use. Great game, I agree
@AmeepleFamily2 жыл бұрын
Good to know! I’ll have to try that out- I’ve only played 2 handed up to this point!
@quentinlaloux32032 жыл бұрын
@@AmeepleFamily you can find the rules on page 3 of the additional rule book. At the very end of the page. The number of card to discard is 2 per dice. Since for 1 player we have a ton of card, it might be worth to use them. Then roll the dice and pray for a good result 😁

First Rat also looks interesting - I already saw your posts about it on Instagram. I'll have to check it out for sure. 😁

Paleo is a big, very popular game. It won the 2021 Kenner Spiele des Jahres (German Connoisseur/Expert Game of the Year - the biggest modern/designer board games award). (There is also the regular Spiele des Jahres for more Family weight games and the Kinder Spiele for children’s games - Micro Macro: Crime City and Dagomino in 2021 respectively). Games that win these awards always get a second printing and tend to sell better because of the award on the box. :)

Hi Amber and happy belated birthday. I only play solo board games and enjoyed your list. With Terraforming Mars versus Ares Expedition, my pick will always be Ares Expedition. I had the original and ended up selling it. Games I played last month included Sub Terra, Raiders of Scythia, Castles of Burgundy and Maximum Apocalypse. I have also taken out Charterstone with the goal of finally finishing the campaign. I am presently on game 8. Take care

I do a ton of solo gaming. I also really like New York Zoo and Isle of Cats. New to me that I enjoyed this month is Floriferous (thanks to your video on it!), The Whatnot Cabinet, Creature Comforts, and Obsession. Absolutely love Obsession! I also really like Uwe so I play Agricola, Caverna and have just gotten several more of his games to give a try solo. For regular nights where I'm tired from my day I prefer something lighter but several times a week I want crunchy. I just ordered The Gallerist and Lisboa which are both Lacerda games and I'm very excited to give them a go. My daughter plays with me 2X a week but she doesn't love heavy rules or complex games unless there is theme and she's an Artist so hoping Gallerist intrigues her - she's already agreed to play Rococco with me this weekend. LOVE the content! Thank you!!
