I don't know what's more depressing, the fact that I'm up 2:30 am YouTubing one player boardgames because I have no friends, let alone a girlfriend to play with, or I'm looking for a Christmas present which I will buy and wrap myself and put it under the tree and then pretend to act surprise when I open it on Christmas day 2020

For those of us who still prefer the tactile version, I'm right there with you. You may feel alone, but actually you're not. Just think, when you're up at 2:30 am watching this video, others are too. I also head over to Reddit (r/soloboardgaming) where you can find a great community of solo gamers in discussions but also in live chats (in the middle of the night). And as far as presents, I've already bought 3 games for myself to do just that. Nothing wrong with it! Enjoy them. :)

There's no solo experience like Mage Knight! It has everything, from RPG, exploration, conquest, magic, deckbuilding, and trying to play your card intellegently even when you have a bad hand. It's not only the best solo game in my list, but also one of the best game I've ever played.

Love video and the enthusiasm, some really helpful thoughts too. I'm playing a lot of Zulus on the Ramparts, a solo game I think you will like. The AI simply moves one, some or all of the Zulu units a random number of spaces closer to the defences of Rorkes Drift. You need to use the cards to build defences, fire volleys, put out fires etc. Before you get over run. Simple but effective play but so difficult to get right!

I LOVE that you guys picked mostly games that are not solo-only. There are a lot of games out there that are 1+ players or like you said, have home-brewed solo variants. These are the game reviews that, as a solo player, I find most helpful. For instance, right now, I am trying to choose my next medium weight game which is rare to find in a solo-only production. I was most interested to hear your comments about Viticulture and Feast for Odin. As far as my favorite game to solo in this category, it remains Robinson Crusoe: Adventures of a Cursed Island. Oh my, so good solo. After all, Robinson didn't have his BFF with him, just Friday and Skip, the dog.

Nice to see you guys! If you like heavy Euro's, Gaia Project has an amazing automa system. If you are ok with crazy rules overheard, Mage Knight is amazing. Arkham Horror LCG is an amazing story driven solo experience (dark ambient music adds a lot). Those are probably my three favorite solo games... Onirim, Too Many Bones, Coffee Roaster, Gloomhaven, and Teotihuacan are also all a good time.

Will have to look at the other games I've been saving for later introduction to my groups. Keep up the good work. You've given me some ideas. It would be a long 12 weeks with games.

Great choice on AFFO! Blackout Hong Kong solo is one you guys might like. The multi player has very limited interaction anyway, and the solo makes an unlucky dice roll feel more like a challenge to overcome. The final scoring is points based and you get a certain # of ⭐️ based on how many points you score in a game (you have to hit a minimum threshold to score any ⭐️) at the end of the campaign you add up your stars for a final rating.

Here are some more honourable mentions to consider... Race for The Galaxy and Clans of Caledonia - which have solo modes. Castles of Burgundy, Stone Age and Azul are fantastic two player games that can still be enjoyed as one playing two. When I get real ambitious and play me, myself and I 3 player solo mode, Kingsburg 2nd edition can be challenging yet do-able. But my new favourite game is Village plus expansions and with Village Port it is a blast as solo, 2 or 3 player counts! Like your channel keep up the great work 👍✌️🆗😁✅👌

I haven't played a lot of games solo, but Ex Libris is my favorite game to play solo. In this time of self isolation, I've been looking to play more of my games that have a solo mode. I was surprised just now to find out that I have played more of the ones with official solo variants solo than I haven't. I have 17 games that have unofficial solo variants, which I plan to work in at some point. My second favorite game to solo is Spell Smashers.

I play a variant of Legendary where I use a deck of Ambition cards and a deck of Horror cards. I draw an Ambition card right after drawing a Villain card. I play a Horror card right after defeating a Mastermind Tactic. Creates some nice variation, story and difficulty to the game. It also balances difficulty while only having to play 1 hand. As a lot of people play 2 handed solo games.

If there is a decision to be made between games, I tend to sway in the direction of buying those with a solid solo, other things being roughly equal. Games are fairly expensive so increasing the chance of it hitting the table is only a good thing…. For me at least. I find board games, even solo more engaging generally than video games nowadays. Nobody asked for it but there go…. My opinion! 🧐

Hey ya butts, Too Many Bones, Mage Knight, Robinson Crusoe, This War of Mine (ooof, but oh such brilliant gameplay), and Marvel Champions are all easily in my top ten. Several are in my top five. I don't know which is my favorite. Champions is my most played of that bunch, but that has more to do with setup-playtime-takedown time (even though I love it) than anything. If Too Many Bones were so easy, I'd play it daily. Same for the others... except maybe This War of Mine. Too real.
