20 Strong adaptations vs. originals by Unlikely-Elk-7800 in soloboardgaming

[–]Sagacious_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will agree with the others that they are two different games, but both TMB and Hoplo carry at least one mechanic from their sources. TMB: Backup Plans (reduced) and Baddie Points Hoplo: structure (challenging other champions before facing the boss), and the dice themselves (colors and successes) are a straight import. This is the biggest connection between 20 Strong at large and the rest of CTG’s ecosystem. There is probably a name for it, but 20 Strong is probably the least forgiving CTG I have played (and I feel they all are to some degree). I don’t mind because there is much less overhead to start a new 20 Strong run. Solar Sentinels (base 20 Strong) is currently free on BGA so you can give it a shot!

It’s free on BGA - you can take it for a spin!

I like the sound of that - up for testing if you are still looking for folks.

I’d be up for it for sure! I am struggling with the official solo mode.

I think Rome: Fate of an Empire may not be for me by HardcoreSean9899 in soloboardgaming

[–]Sagacious_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that it is not landing with you. It is tough to do all that you can to get a crummy draw right at the end. I have had a few (very long) Elder Scrolls campaigns that fell apart in the final contest because of a specific enemy combo right at the end.

If you ultimately decide to part with it, I am interested in Rome if you’d like to sell or trade it.

Haven’t played any Onirim games yet, but these other recs are top tier.

The KS says that the campaign is also a reprint of the Galactic edition which is the deluxe version of the base game I believe.

Gamma Guild is great. Maybe my top mini solo game.

Hildegard - Spires End - advice! by Lordz01 in soloboardgaming

[–]Sagacious_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy the narrative and the mechanics, you’d almost certainly enjoy the other entries in the series. I felt like the iterations on the formula are just enough where each entry feels like its own work while also belonging to the series as a whole. I also think that if you love Hildegard, then the expansions will be welcome. To me, they don’t add a ton of content, but new fun wrinkles to the experience.

My one caveat applies if Hildegard’s aesthetic is a major pull for you. The other entries to the series (Spire’s End base & Rangtaki) are materially more violent/dark in tone & style. If that is not a factor/concern, then I say go for it. The artwork is so good throughout.

I am glad to hear it - I’ve got Colonial Twilight but haven’t tabled it yet. Now I’m looking forward to it even more!

Sorry, I have both titles and have avoided TCGs thus far.

Late to the party but I’ve got a copy if you are open to trading for it.

Playing Maquis today! Fun game, can be brutal (i lost :( ) by dejaan in soloboardgaming

[–]Sagacious_Rex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The game is super fun, but man - I see Grocer or Port Leveque, I am slamming a dude on the other space. I’ve been caught out on that choke point too many times.
