My board game library has definitely grown the way it has because of your content and it appears that it will do so again. I hadn't heard of Eila and Something Shiny and am now super intrigued. I love playing solo games and glean alot from your solo videos. The games I have been playing alot solo lately are Three Sisters (which was difficult for me to find for awhile), My City roll and write, Hadrian's Wall has become my favorite lately, and I also like the solo of Ark Nova and Wingspan but they're a little more difficult to get to the table. I've been looking through the button shy games and may actually get Rove now thanks to this video but looking forward to the release of The Last Lighthouse.

Thank you for the great recommendations. During covid, I started trying some of my games solo. My current favorite is Antiquity (Splotter). I hadn't discovered the official solo rules, but played it three times with no rules changes and different patron saints each time. Each game was a real squeaker, for different reasons. You convinced me to get Concordia Solitaria. Concordia is one of my all time favorites. Eila and Something Shiny looks promising, also. Again, thank you for making these videos.

No surprise, you share my top solo game of 2023 in Legacy of Yu. So much fun with that game. Wayfarers is probably my second favorite, simply for the fact that it plays with more than one. But that game captivated me so much, it cracked my top 3 ever. Number 3 is probably For Northwood, followed by Under Falling Skies, which I bought and played for the first time as of last year. Can’r wait to see what you play and enjoy solo this year! 😊

I'm still waiting for My City R & W (and Final Girl BTW) that I ordered I don't remember when! ^^ I take note of Mind Space, I'll certainly buy it when it comes into stores here. Eila is an innovative game, I love it too! Will you play it again? For Northwood is very good, they managed to create a solo trick game, that's awesome. Weren't it so expensive, I'd like to play Marrakesh with the solo expansion. Did you try it? Thanks a lot for the video Jenna! Have an extraordinary Easter week end!
@tracieperez26296 ай бұрын
Great list! I really want to play Mind Space, but hadn't heard of it until now. Also, feel your passion for the ease of the Orchard and For Northwood "boxes"! I secretly hope when I get a new card game this will be the type of box it's in, lol. A few solo games I enjoyed in 2023: For Northwood, Patchwork Doodle, Project L, and Maquis

I really enjoy Isle of Cats solo, but like you find Explore and Draw much easier to get to the table for solo play. I need to get For Northwood. I put it off because the idea of a solo trick-taking game didn't draw me in at first, but I keep hearing people talking about how great it is. I believe it is still between print-runs.

Hello. Excellent selection of solo games 😊Legacy of Yu is also my favorite of the year and I will try to play with “Rove”, “Elia” and “For Northwood” very soon… I also liked “Harrow County” (better 2 players than solo) and Unmatched Solo with Tales to amaze expansion. Thanks for your amazing videos !

I love For Northwood! and Guild of Merchant Explorers. I've been waiting to find another person or two to go through My City: Roll and Build with me, but maybe I should just solo it. Mind Space, which I had forgotten about, looks really good. And you've reminded me that I still need to get Witchcraft! to the table.

I really enjoy your insight and eclectic choice of games. A lot of ideas come from your channel. The store just restocked ROVE and I was lucky enough to get it before it sold out (Numbsters gone in hours!) Have you tried the ROVE expansion and if so do you think it’s worth adding or is the base game perfect enough? Keep up the great content!

I make book content on tiktok and my vids are like often over 5 minutes long and i know many people wont watch them cuz of that but idc because i love talking about the things i love and the people who like it like it and the people who dont dont.
