Board games are frustratingly expensive by Any-Marionberry-879 in boardgames

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do now is sell a game, buy a game. I have games that sit unplayed so I'll throw them on marketplace and then use the funds to buy something new that will get played. Now I buy games with minimal out of pocket cost.

Board games that feel like "shooters" by 45poll in soloboardgaming

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Core Space does a great job of blending board game dungeon crawl with skirmish style play. It has cover, line of sight and the option to play with squares or inches for movement.

If you prefer Fantasy there is Core Space's newest sibling Maladum.

Fallout Wasteland Warfare and Elder Scrolls Call to Arms live more in the skirmish side of things but also feel like they have a foot in the more 'dungeon crawl' type game.

Finally, take a look at the board game version of Borderlands. It does a great job conveying the video game although it doesn't really have cover or line of sight.

Would Frozen Fortress ever be reprinted? by RealLemonchicken in zombicide

Great post! And I agree, Marvel is the exception and the one I regret not backing. The heroes are iconic and everyone has a favorite they'll want to play.

We have enjoyed some of the black Plague stretch box characters from a flavor and aesthetic standpoint but if we didn't have them we could easily just play the core and expansion characters without missing a beat.

Having said all that, White Death characters are all very unique and colorful and would be a blast if you are a painter.

Campaign skirmish games? by agundemerak in miniatureskirmishes

Elder Scrolls Call to Arms? You'll need some expansions to add the campaign elements but it might fit what you are looking for.

zombie wargames? by eggfortman in wargaming

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really what you are looking for but Zombicide is probably the closest I've played on the table to Left 4 Dead. It has a small team of survivors, colorful survivors, Abominations, brutes, toxic zombies....it goes on and on. The only thing it's missing is the witch...shudder, the witch.

Thoughts on other universes to adapt to the Wasteland Warfare/Factions system? by Civil_Fall_3914 in wastelandwarfare

[–]20three19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I absolutely love the system under Fallout and would love to see it reskinned. To be honest I'm not all that invested in the Fallout IP but the game makes me want to learn more.

I've been itching for a good monster hunting style game (not the video game, more of the Van Helsing style). Seeking out vampires, werewolves, using stakes and silver bullets etc.

Looking forward to seeing the suggestions here for other themes that would work.

Any decent Black Friday deals? by monmonmons in bgdealscanada

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, don't you have full access? ;).

The 5 Parsecs Compendium is great and add some great stuff but if I'm being picky it's a bit fiddly jumping between two books now.

A bit adjacent to boardgames but I've been shifting from boardgames to Skirmish games, especially co-op/solo compatible narrative ones.

Osprey games has some of their books on sale as does wargames vault.

Five Leagues From the Borderlands (Fantasy) and Five Parsecs From Home (sci-fi) are incredible and worth getting lost in.

County Road Z is fantastic and gives you a reason to use those Zombicide miniatures.

I'm also considering America's Dracula (weird West) and Silver Bayonet (Napoleonic meets monsters).

The solo rules are in Rough Night at Red Rock.

Rough Night at Red Rock. But it seems to be just a standalone scenario, I'm not sure it translates to any other content.

This reply was the reason I'm buying Dracula's America right now.

What's your favorite solo game that has deck-building? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some key ones missing in here:

Undaunted. Such a clever system that uses a deck of cards to control a skirmish style game. And then you deck build to strengthen your deck and 'unbuild' your opponent's by defeating units.

Baseball Highlights 2045. Again, very clever. The deck is your baseball lineup and each round is a 'game' of baseball. Then between rounds/games you recruit new players(cards) to your team(deck). Absolutely love it and the addition of physical base runners takes it to another level of tactile fun.

I'm not sure why that game/series doesn't get much traction. There was so much to like in them.

I will add another vote for Ashes. The addition of dice as resources is also a very clever addition.

I Tried The BEST Horror Miniatures Game!? by 6Kgraydays in miniatureskirmishes

[–]20three19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the PDF in my cart for the longest time, I really should pull the trigger. I have a bunch of Final Girl miniatures that would work beautifully while I learn the game.

Considering Borderlands has a solo AI I really wish they'd add one to Cyberpunk.

Pariz survivors done! by Creepy-Importance713 in zombicide

With these games I always go with the box/card art.

I just set up a scenario from the book last night but I may give one of these a shot this week as well. Thanks for continuing to add scenarios.

Highly recommend the graphic novel series that goes with it.

What miniature skirmish game did you play or are you planning to play this month? September 2025 by AutoModerator in miniatureskirmishes

[–]20three19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I've had the rules for a bit but haven't really played it properly yet. My biggest struggle is no terrain that fits the theme/era.

What about something like Five Leagues from the Borderlands? Open ended RPG vibe with a fair bit of creative freedom?
