Can't argue with most of this list, but your omission of A Touch of Evil has me considering a quick drive to the Great White North to re-adjust your worldview hahaha. :)

I was going to buy that for Hallowe'en, but didn't get chance to get to the shop....maybe next year. So tomorrow will be Witchfinder General and a game or two of Last Night on Earth

Great list. The Bloody Inn is such a morbid little card game and it's art is very evocative.

[@alexpartenopei1021]

that is on my wishlist and will get when/if it becomes available again.

[@RollingSolo]

I’ve heard this one mentioned before. Interested! Any future ones too?

[@newbreedcreator]

Here are some other solo board games (mostly, some are miniature games) that I think fit the season (in alphabetical order) : - A Touch of Evil - All Things Zombies (in various iterations) - AMC The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary - Attack on Titan: Deck-Building Game - Camp Grizzly - Conquest of the Planet Earth - Day Night Z - Dracula's America - Endure the Stars - Fireteam Zero - Lobotomy - Lovecraft's Revenge - Nightwatch (by Patrick Todoroff) - Planet Apocalypse - Unbroken - Village Attacks - Xenoshyft

[@RollingSolo]

Love it! There's a handful of these I've covered as well. Fireteam Zero has some great books that compliment the game and get you more into it. Thanks for sharing all these! :D

[@scyldscefing3913]

My wife and I just played Dawn of the Zeds last night. It is heavier, but that much more rewarding. Fury of Dracula would be my favorite Halloween/Horror themed game.

[@RollingSolo]

It really does have some weight! No one has mentioned FoD yet. Solid game. 😄👍🏼

[@KabukiKid]

I'm really looking forward to Final Girl. :-) Looks fantastic!

[@RollingSolo]

Me too! Excited to see the final game 😉 🔪

[@ploucas]

Great list! Two more of my all time favourites are: Deep Madness and The Order of Vampire Hunters. I’m really looking forward to Dawn of Madness and Ancient Blood, both upcoming sequels/prequels of those two respectively.

[@RollingSolo]

I was wondering when Deep Madness would be mentioned! It was on a prior list of mine. Dawn of Madness is a perfect one for an honourable mention. Looking forward to that one!

[@ploucas]

@@RollingSolo may I ask what made you take out Deep Madness this year? A lack of plays maybe? Also, from what I've seen so far, Dawn of Madness has the most horrific, edging to really disturbing miniatures and theme I've seen in a board game. It was one of the first KS that I backed and remains in my top 3 of most anticipated games - hopefully we'll have it by the end of 2022 :)

[@RollingSolo]

It certainly is up their with KDM in terms of how serious it takes itself. Deep Madness was great but I found others replaced it for me now. Doesn’t mean I don’t like it or doesn’t deserve to be played!

[@synns6898]

Great list, personal favourites are Dungeon Degenerates and Cthulhu death may die. A couple of others missing off this list are Machina Arcana and the ultimate Halloween themed game “A touch of evil”. Another new game as you mentioned Nemesis, Horrified and Alien would be Alien:Fate of the Nostromo.

[@RollingSolo]

I’m literally about to open up Dungeon Degenerates and digging in very soon. Even upgraded the dice because I’m excited about it. I added a touch of evil to the pinned comment honorable mentions as well! It deserves it 👏🏼

[@christian_daigle]

Nice list Adam. I hope CMON gonna do another Kickstarter for Death May Die !

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Christian! It would be insane in terms of the amount of people that would want to jump in at this point. A lot of people passed when they saw the giant Cthulhu mini (I didn't haha) and didn't think the game would be any good. I hoped it would be and it far exceeded my hopes. It's been one of my favs for years now!

[@christian_daigle]

@@RollingSolo Yea, I'm guilty. I dropped my pledge when I saw that monster. It was either that or I HAD to get it lol I love Cthulhu theme as well... I have regrets :D That and not going all-in on Solomon Kane, man this game is special. Definitely a keeper.

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

Solomon Kane is currently my favorite game of all time. That may be the only solo game that I own that could be classified as "horror," but I have heard about Cthulhu: DMD enough now that I have added it to my list. I always really like to play Betrayal At House on the Hill and Gloom around Halloween. Neither are solo, and both are pretty light games, but fun for the season. Thanks for the list!

[@RollingSolo]

I think you’d enjoy DMD. Solomon Kane is awesome. It’s a keeper!

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

I did think of another solo game: Spire's End definitely fits the horror genre. I have not personally played it yet, but I have a pre-ordered a copy from the next print run.

[@RollingSolo]

I’m aiming to pick that up too!

[@GeeEmm81]

Great list. Eldritch Horror is my favourite, absolutely love how difficult it is, followed by Horrified. Had Arkham Horror LCG, I liked it but I’m not a fan of drafting so I got rid of it. Gonna look into Dungeon Degenerates. It looks amazing with all that neon!

[@RollingSolo]

The colours are crazy and I love it. Diving into it soon. Even upgraded the dice 😉

[@kennethpaschall4801]

Betrayal at house on the hill. Original for a quick immersive evening, or legacy for a fully fleshed out campaign with customisable items, characters and hundreds of outcomes.

Great list. Love Arkham Horror, Cthulhu: DMD and Legendary Alien. Have got Horrified but yet to play. I'm most looking forward to Unfathomable. 🐙

[@RollingSolo]

Great mention for Unfathomable! Even though it's not a solo game, I picked it up as I really enjoyed BSG gameplay, just not the IP as much. Unfathomable is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks for watching!

[@Thomas-kx9op]

Great list! My list would be: Arkham Horror LCG, A Touch of Evil, Betrayal Legacy, Cthulhu: Death May Die, Darklight Momento Mori, Deep Madness, Dungeon Degenerates, Eldritch Horror, Folklore: The Affliction, Kingdom Death: Monster, Last Night on Earth, Mansions of Madness 2E, Nemesis, Shadows of Brimstone, Solomon Kane

[@Thomas-kx9op]

I would also add Vampire The Masquerade: Chapters if it was out.

[@BlueDemon77]

Is it possible to still get Arkham Horror 2e? Or has 3e take over it?

[@RollingSolo]

Second Edition is no longer printing but you can find it all the time second hand. Hope that helps!

[@Ryuksgelus]

Thank you for specifically mentioning the incredible lack of Pirate, Westerns, and Western Horror games. Got into Boardgames in 2018/2019 and recently began trying to fill my collection by looking for games in genres and IPs I like and am baffled by how few options I have to even create a shortlist of potential buys. Even being relatively niche how can I not find 10 different options released in the last 5 years for each of these genre for every 1000 Fantasy games re-released yearly? There are more park/zoo management games released in the last year than Westerns and Pirates in the last decade it seems. With Western Horror my only options seem to be SoB and the new Zombicide and gritty pirate games seem entirely non-existent. Most perplexing are the lack of alien fighting games like Nemesis. More than pirates&cowboys combined but still not much even if we stretch the theme to include Star Wars and Warhammer but still pretty low options for something I don't consider niche. Space exploration and settlement are not rare. Next year we get Rogue Angels that's supposed to have a Mass Effect vibe so crossing my fingers that turns out good.

[@RollingSolo]

Pirates especially as there is so much to work with when it comes to an adventure game or dungeon crawler etc. The first person to put out a well received pirate or cowboy game is going to have an evergreen game on their hands.

[@danielbarkey2970]

Nothing better than Kingdom Death : Monster ... with version 1.6 and the Gamblers Chest it will be a new dimension of board gaming. I missed Elder Signs, Deep Madness, Dawn of Madness, Vampire Heritage and Machina Arcana. But great list ... I most agree.

[@RollingSolo]

Absolutely! Looking forward to the GC landing. Dawn of Madness I’m looking forward to. That’ll be some horror for sure!

[@alexpartenopei1021]

My favorites; Okko Chronicles - Demon hunting in feudal Japan Solomon Kane - its Solomon Kane! A Touch of Evil - Gothic horror magnifiscense Arkham Horror LCG - Best Arkham Files game imo This War of Mine - Not supernatural horror but certainly horrific Nemesis - In the game room everybody can hear you scream

[@RollingSolo]

This War of Mine totally fits the bill as well. The mental toll is heavy! Great game!

[@markbridgwater6309]

Village Attacks is a great horror themed game that can be played solo. You play as the monsters defending your castle from local villagers.

I'd like an opinion on Shadows of Brimstone: Is it a game of skill, where you can learn to play it better and better; where you can develop a skilful sense of how to manage combat and your other game choices? Thanks, - toby

[@RollingSolo]

Yes you can learn to play it more efficiently but this one will always have an element of luck. However, experience really helps on the strategic side of things and with more and more games you do play much smarter. 👍🏼

[@tobyr21]

@@RollingSolo thanks!

[@jayeckberg774]

A few solo playable horror games I would add. 1. Slaughterville & Slaughterville II Both games can be played individually or combined. Pick your favorite villian, Dracula, zombie Horde, body snatchers, Jack the Ripper, slasher, or many others and see if you can survive. 2. Legendary Predator. Just like Legendary Alien except based on Predator 1 & 2 and can be combined with Legendary Alien to create your own AVP. Dutch & Ripley team up anyone? 3. Camp Grizzly. This game would be number one if it wasn't that it's impossible to find anymore. NO GAME comes closer to capturing Friday the 13th films then this game and that does include the Friday the 13th boardgame. It's 1979 your a camp counselor at Camp Grizzly when a serial killer with a bear fetish named Otis shows up. This game has many homages to many horror films. Thanks for having Shadows of Brimstone on your list. I love the game and feel it's overlooked a lot by game critics.

[@RollingSolo]

Awesome! Love detailed responses like these. Thanks for bringing those up. Camp Grizzly I need to play. Haven’t yet as I can’t find it either haha

[@SaintWiccan]

I would say Deep Madness is on my list. Can't wait for VTM: Chapters!

[@RollingSolo]

Deep Madness was on my prior list and got bumped this time. However, if I expanded the list to 20 it would have landed. It’s a tough game and nails the horror vibe. Excited for Dawn of Madness too!

[@hermannluttmann1637]

Thanks Adam - great stuff! I'm also a big fan of Arkham Horror 3rd edition and Eldritch Horror and have Final Girl pledged. I'm hoping that some day you'll try out my "Dawn of the Zeds" game as it is a solitaire horror game as well and hopefully it will make your list in the future. All the best and thanks again for an entertaining video.

[@jeffsims1572]

I would add Bloody Inn to the list. Not horror in the sense that something is after you, but you are the killer of your Inn, so it's definitely horror themed.

[@BlueDemon77]

Not a boardgame, but I've been playing English Eerie, it's a nice little game that can be played solo and is super lite. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy old ghost stories and...writing. :)

I don't have many games but Mansions of Madness 2nd edition is the top for me. I should be receiving Final Girl in the next few weeks and I am wanting to dive into that. Eldritch Horror is on my shelf of shame so I will dive into that soon as well. Zombicide does have that being over run by zombies feeling in spades but the horror tension is not nearly as high as in MoM. I didn't realize you were a fellow Canuck :)

I finally found a copy and would love to see you tackle a playthrough.

[@tokreal]

I would also add Deep Madness, it's a bit hard to get to the table, but it's also one of my favourite dungeon crawlers!

[@RollingSolo]

I found that too. It’s quite of bit of management. Almost a much heavier version of Zombicide.

[@82ndmi]

you missed my home brew solo of the classic vhs game Nightmare, which is essentially watching the youtube video of the original vhs and chuckling. because there aren't many amazing top tier solo horror themed euros, I'd throw in Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein. It's definitely not on the best euro list, and you do have some of the best thematic games of all time, but if you wanted a halloween euro, it's the best in that one category. The other honorable mention is Dark rituals, this is probably my favorite 1vall, definitely my favorite campaign 1vall, and the solo campaign is pretty neat. less solo content then the big solo only games, but my favorite solo 1vall by far and a very Halloween vibe as you play witches trying to summon demons and kill heroes.

[@RollingSolo]

I really wish someone would put together a solid horror euro game. Would be fresh! 🔥

[@82ndmi]

​@@RollingSolo my fathers work, looks slick but no solo. monsters on board is probably the best thing upcoming with solo, light dice game with a kids mode. and then you'd have to go back to the kingsburg reskin kingsport festival for maybe best horror game with euro mechanics, even if it's less a traditional euro. stationfall is kinddda horror adjacent as a station falls into the atmosphere, and you're definitely goaled on killing each other and there a monster on board that can get out.

Cthulhu Death May Die is a really fun game, especially with all the trimmings. Nothing like sending Rasputin and Al Capone in to a room to Tommy-gun Yog Sothoth. Great miniatures. Nemesis is next on the list. Always fancied a look of Kingdom Death: Monster though...but, nobody can afford it😀

[@baroldalt312]

A Touch of Evil has obviously been mentioned many times. But of all the games, I think it most deftly touches the vibe of autumn and Halloween. Sci-fi/Lovecraft and Horror Fantasy will never do that as much. Horrified is OK, but just not near as immersive. A Touch of Evil also replaces Final Girl in every way. Quickness of turns, narrative, atmosphere, variety of villains/heroes and interactivity with maps/locations.

[@RollingSolo]

As a matter of fact I just got ToE in the mail the other day. It’s one I’ve had my eye on for some time. Based on what I’ve seen of gameplay from ToE and what I played of Final Girl, they both stand very firm on their own. 👍🏼

Nemesis is my Top Game and such a great horror and storytelling experience. Other favourite horror games for me are The Awful Orphanage using the updated rules. It’s a Victorian Gothic game. Night of The Living Dead - a Zombicide game using some of the fan made rules that greatly enhance it. Lastly, Tales of Evil, which is a lighter yet extremely fun and social (so doesn’t T shine as solo game), kids-on-bikes-RPG board game. An honourable mention from me goes to The Faceless. Despite the horrible Kickstarter delivery there is still a pretty fun, light and tricky board game with some great tension building.

Nemesis I’m never going to get rid of. Such a great game. So many ways to die haha 🤣 Awesome extra ones there too!

Since I have ‚re-entered‘ (solo) board gaming only since the pandemic, I don’t have that much of a repertoire yet. I really enjoy Bloodborne and Death may Die, but couldn’t get into Arkham LCG and Zombicide Dawn of the Dead. Horrified is high on my Xmas wishlist 😏The only other games that cone to mind which have a real horror feeling is Space Hulk and two episodes of T.I.M.E. Stories: Estrella Drive (very disturbing atmosphere) and The Endurance Expedition (cool Lovecraft vibes).

Welcome back (a little late) haha Nice picks as well. Thanks for sharing those with us all. Cheers!

That’s a solid pick for sure! 🔥

My favorite Horror game is MONOPOLY, its real creepy how it can drag on !

That game wins hands down. As I read this I broke out into a sweat 😅

Great mention Lynn! Thanks for checking out the video. Any future ones of interest?

[@blakehorsfield3379]

Well, I feel like you phoned this one in a little bit. Lots of obvious choices - not sure there's a solo gamer out there who doesn't know all about all of these games. Where were those interesting but slightly niche picks like Machina Arcana or Lobotomy?

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Blake! Thanks for watching. This is a list of my personal favs so there wasn’t a single game on here phoned in haha. I’ve played Machina Arcana and enjoyed it but it didn’t stick long term for me. Lobotomy was in the same boat. However, both are valid and worth mentioning as many enjoy them too!

[@Jito463]

You mentioned KDM as a massive and expensive game, but I have to say that Shadows of Brimstone has really socked it to my wallet. I backed Shadows of Brimstone Adventures on KS as my first foray into board gaming since I was a kid (ironically, it's also the game I've waited the longest on....and still waiting nearly 3 years later). Between buying all the various previous versions of the game, and myriad "quality of life" improvements to make the game look nicer, I've dropped nearly $2,500 on this one game series alone (and that was all within 6 months!). Yeah, I may have gone a teeeeeeensie bit overboard. As for your shout outs, I'm anxiously awaiting Final Girl and looking forward to playing Vampire: The Masquerade - Chapters, too. Just be aware there's another V:TM game out there subtitled "Blood Feud", just so you don't accidentally confuse people as to which one you mean. I backed that one for $1 just to follow it, but decided against fully pledging for it since it didn't have a solo play option.

[@RollingSolo]

Very true! Shadows of Brimstone has nailed me good. I haven’t everything released to date minus the resin pieces. Even have two sets of dice per character. It adds up! However, I’ve been buying stuff for it over the course of 6+ years. I have VM name in the pinned comment and also made sure to include ‘Chapters’ in the on screen title. 😄👌🏼 Thanks for watching and sounds like we have some SoB KS stuff coming in the near future haha

[@01hornsfan]

Eldritch Horror is tops all time for me, not just horror but any game. The story generated by the cards and gameplay is always unique and always satisfying, even when I lose. Cthulhu DMD is top 5 all time, which I guess makes it #2 in the horror category for me. Arkham Horror 2E was amazing, such atmosphere and board presentation as you mentioned. Big nod to card backs with art, which have been lost in the recent FFG releases such as Arkham Horror 3E and Unfathomable (the good, beloved Fantasy Flight died with the Asmodee acquisition, just like many predicted--that is an unfortunate horror of its own). But AH 2E was too unwieldy--it wasn't designed with forward compatibility in mind. Eldritch Horror redid AH2E right. AH3E was something different, passable but not captivating in the mold of AH2E or EH. Nemesis--man, not all of my friends like it but I agree with your summary: flawless. I have Shadows of Brimstone but it is hard to table with all the stuff I have (I've drowned in the deep end as you mentioned). I need to make more of an effort. I ought to play Touch of Evil and maybe Folklore: the Affliction. And I'm anxiously awaiting the Solomon Kane reprint (Mythic says there is one coming). Overall fantastic video!

[@RollingSolo]

Played Eldritch Horror this past Monday against Hypnos and well we got destroyed. Always fun and will likely go at him again next Monday. I need to check out the 10th Anniversary Edition of A Touch of Evil. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching!

[@craigrides3209]

Throwing it out there, but how about Warhammer: Cursed City? Great game & certainly fits the horror element ( if you can get your hands on a copy!!!)

[@RollingSolo]

Nice Craig! Thanks for mentioning that one. I haven't played that before. Intrigued!

Hey Mits! Love this mention and have had a lot of fun with this one too. A classic!

[@gasa5251]

yeah, a touch of Evil..... and no one has said "the others" ... totally under rated and superior to Cuthulu DMD in my opinion. Witches of Salem also more Halloween themed than some of these, and of of the troubled "Legends of Sleepy Hollow" that has one of the best ever play thoughs on On Table Top...

[@RollingSolo]

Ooo The Others. I haven’t played that one but had been tempted to pick it up. That one has a fan made solo variant correct?

@@RollingSolo sorry I saw ur comment late, no the list was wonderful and perfect, Idk so much about board games, bought an ultimate edition of Mage knight a few years ago, it was so expensive and it wasn't enough entertaining for me to make me spend that amount of money on another board game again 🥺 I had a long and frustrating process of learning too, recently I could buy a PS4 slim with the money I could pay just for a few new board games!

[@RollingSolo]

@@aghakeshmiripp Mage Knight is the super deep end of the pool for rules vs fun in a board game at the start. I would recommend many other solo games before it. Don’t write them all off! On BGG there is a complexity rating that is a good gauge as to whether it’ll take a bit to get to the fun of a game.
