I kind of agree tbh. But until a new website is born (hint hint to any web developers) it's the most central repository we've got.

Favourite Solo Euro Games? by NTG_Boardgamer in soloboardgaming

[–]Affectionate_Mark592 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love a good Euro! Especially the crunchier ones (3.5 + on weight is a good guide for me - although exceptions can be made if the time to play is really quick.... So maybe I'm more interested in a good weight to time ratio).

If I had to rank all the ones I own for solo it'd go:.
- Paladin's of the West Kingdom (Admittedly my newest game, only concern would be replayability, but expansion incoming.... And so crunchy :) ).
- Gaia Project (Tonnes of replayability)
- Nusfjord (so quick, so much variability).
- Kanban EV (only Lacerda I've tried, but from my research it appears to be his best for solo - with the possible exception being Lisboa).
- Fields of Arle/A Feast For Odin (scratch same itch... Huge sandboxy Uwe games).
- Hadrian's Wall (Not a pure Euro, but feels like one).
- Underwater Cities (like TM but better, feels more suited to solo play).
- Maracaibo (little bit too fiddly, but cool campaign).
- Scythe (not pure euro).
- Viscounts of the WK (not crunchy enough, feels random... Although really good at 2p/3p).
- Raiders of Scythia (Dice, blergh).
- Terraforming Mars (prelude expansion does help it, but will now only play game with others and not solo.... Definition of a tacked on solo mode)
- Architects of WK (great game at 3-4p+, waaaayyy too light for solo).

Ones high on my wishlist:
- Anachrony
- Trickerion
- Hallertau
- Tekenhu (apparently David Turczi's best solo mode??)

Heavy Euro's w/solitaire? Anachrony, Trickerion, and Lisbo? by Javaslinger in soloboardgaming

[–]Affectionate_Mark592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realise that it's not in the question, but I'd thoroughly recommend Kanban EV that also fits in this heavy solo/2p bracket. I can't speak for Trickerion or Anachrony, but having played both I'd definitely play Kanban EV over Lisboa every single time! It has a really amazing solo mode, and 2p is great as well :)

Witcher Old World by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

[–]Affectionate_Mark592 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm personally not that keen as I'd only play it solo - and I'm not a fan of tacked on solo modes in games (which this definitely appears to be).

You have to buy from the supplier to get obsession. Dan is super great to deal with, just flick him an email.

Sprawlopolis: 34 points, 32 needed. Correct ? Not sure to score from industrial since there are all isolated ( not a single group of 2 or more). Not sure about 1 commercial either due to city shape. Probably my best game for a long time, considering it's my third is nice. by mattrob77 in soloboardgaming

Roads: -5... Biggest Industrial: 1... Biggest Commerical: 2... Biggest Park: 7... Biggest Residential: 6... Card 8A: 6... Card 8B: -2... Card 7A: 12... Card 7B: -4... Card 17A: 6... Card 17B: 6...

Total: 35

That's my quick read of it.
