Thanks Mike for bringing us solo game content! It’s an important part for me, and I hope to keep seeing content!

Zuuli and Fromage can both be played on BGA as solo games. That’s how I played them both. I ended up ordering the physical copy of zuuli and pre-ordered Fromage because I enjoyed them so much. My husband and friends have all enjoyed Zuuli, it looks cute but can be quite a challenge at times. The new Evolution is different but also still similar. I didn’t like the original evolution game, but I do love Oceans. I do really like this version of Evolution. You can watch a full solo play through on Totally Tabled. He does a wonderful job with play throughs and only solo games. If anyone is interested. Enjoy Gen Con everyone, we aren’t able to make it this year! Hopefully we will be joining next year again.

I think for me kinfire delve will be a pick and most of the solo horror games on the list. Great video. Great to see you.

The ancient knowledge expansion is one that adds solo. Pampero also has a really good solo mod that chases after objectives.

[@jparish1987]

Mike there are two standalone Cascadia games coming out that you said were expansion, both are flip/roll and write. If you like Cascadia maybe check them out. Rolling Hills and Rolling Rivers

[@michaeldilisio557]

I’ll take a closer look!

[@Kasper8421]

I LOVE Lords of Baseball. I backed it and am very happy with the gameplay.

[@Wonderflonium]

Informative and entertaining, as usual! Thanks!

[@jbringas9582]

I think a happier thumbnail is appropriate. 😅

[@azamarro]

Glossing over Beacon Patrol?!? A very solid solo game in my opinion! Thought you would like it since you expressed interest in A Gentle Rain. Both are relaxing to play.

[@edwindrood2816]

Cool! Thanks Mike, I hadn't had time to research it!

[@manuelkooijman5757]

Thanks a lot, Mike. Great stuff for us solo players. Hope you do one for Essen as well. Come to think of it, maybe not as I will spend even more money then 😂😂😂😂.

Voidfall is so darn good solo Mike.

[@michaeldilisio557]

That’s what I hear. Maybe I’ll break down and try it out.

[@Boardgametherapist]

@@michaeldilisio557 it looks intimidating but the iconography is intuitive and it’s very procedural. The complexity definitely lies mostly in the decision space. It will eventually be a top 10 solo game IMO within the solo community ranking

[@jbringas9582]

What multiplayer games are you rushing to get? That’s a good tease.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Park Life was a kickstarter project, seems pretty cool

[@Joshua_Tymchyn]

I've never played an Endeavor game, but I briefly looked into Endeavor: Deep Sea strictly for solo play. I eventually missed my chance to pull the trigger on a late pledge, but the game looked really slick in it's worker placement mechanisms and the neat "skill tree" of sorts that you use in each mission. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has more thoughts on this one, but I don't know if backers have it in their hands yet.

The games left China about 1 month ago. If they were heading to the west coast they should be reaching port any day now.

[@terry3733H]

Thanks for your insights-you’re the extended research 🧐 (foreign hidden gems 🤗) happy gaming everyone 🎉

[@samirjafri191]

Thanks Mike!

[@PzaPolarBear]

When is the reprint for Comic Hunters coming to retail?

[@gregorys9629]

Definitely give Slay the Spire a try, it's great!
