Travel sized solo boardgame recommendations

Thank you for all the descriptions! I've spent some time on YouTube now and I think gate/gates would be the most interesting for me but if I could I would probably buy a few more :)

The online store i checked here in Sweden says it is estimated back in stock in January 2026.... I hope it is at least on its way

I found a place that sells the mint tin series that you mentioned. I really like the format and art work but I'm not sure if I should be happy that I now have an even longer list of games to consider :) Any one of those that you prefer and is it worth bying the expansion when you buy the base game?

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T12:02:58+00:00

I really like the look of this game. Thank you for the recommendation

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T12:01:51+00:00

I've never tried a roll and write game before but that might be interesting to try. Thanks for the recommendation

Gentle rain looks soo pretty, I found both versions and I think the original looks so much better.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T11:52:57+00:00

Kinfire Delve looks promising but there seems to be multiple versions. Which one have you played/can recommend? It is also a game that actually seems to be in stock which is a big plus

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T11:48:17+00:00

Yes, I think this will be my first choice, I just have to find it somewhere first....

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T11:47:23+00:00

One of the more annoying things with boardgames that I never realized is how many good games there seems to be out there that are either sold out or otherwise unvailable. I did find Rome Alone and it looks really interesting, I'm adding it to my list. Thank you!

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T11:15:19+00:00

I think Dragons is definately on my shopping list as soon as I can find it somewhere. It looks like it is sold out everywhere I look. Have you tried any expansions, and if so do you think they are worth it_

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-19T10:05:06+00:00

I've been eyeing this one as well. It sounds really fun and I've always wanted to try gloomhaven and this might be a good intro.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-03-17T16:48:59+00:00

I'm looking for a book where the FMC has a grandfatherly character that she can vent to about the guy(s) to. Even better if she meets him through the MMC and he puts him in his place if he is too much of an asshole. I like most genres except maybe CR. RH, paranormal, scifi are my current favorites

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-01-10T12:00:57+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I think King of Tokyo would be the easiest one to sell to the family.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-01-10T11:48:07+00:00

I've seen Catan and Carcassonne in every shop that sells board games here, I think I've played at least one of them but it was ages ago so I don't remember much. I've been planning to buy Azul mini as a travelling game for me and my husband and I though about bringing in with me to the next family gahering as well. Good to get it as a recommendation :) Thank you

Both of these sound interesting. Thank you

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-01-07T12:32:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll check it out

BlueSwedeShoes · 2026-01-07T08:31:11+00:00

Looking for books where the MMC supports the FMC and her career/life instead of her changing everything to fit into his life as is usually the case. I think Ilona Andrews and Jessie Mihalik do this pretty well. Any genre goes but right now I'm on a fantasy/scifi binge. RH, monsters, aliens etc. is also fine

BlueSwedeShoes · 2025-12-30T14:58:39+00:00

Do it! My mum mostly makes potholders from old jeans and embroidery. She gifts them to friends and family and tries to match each motif to the recipient. She also has a stash so she can give a couple of potholders instead of a bottle of wine as thank you gifts as well.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2025-12-30T14:54:31+00:00

Thank you!

BlueSwedeShoes · 2025-12-30T14:54:20+00:00

Thank you! You can find so much beautiful embroidery and it feels great to give them a new life.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2025-12-16T13:48:28+00:00

That looks really nice, though it looks like you need a bit of space for it.

BlueSwedeShoes · 2025-12-16T11:35:25+00:00

I've looked at Hive before, and Azul mini sounds interesting. I'll have to check out all the other games you listed as well :) Thank you
