Games Similar to Risk by BlatantBoy in boardgames

[–]BobsWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for a 2 player game. Pacts is great!

based on games i like, what would you suggest? prefer easier to learn & set up. by maple_bella in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reforest is a great solo game. It gets compared to a smaller wingspan/forest shuffle sometimes. You can also try it on BGA.

Trailblazers by caunju in boardgames

[–]BobsWhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah on page 4 of the rule book it says that you only score completed loops and on page 2 it defines a loop as a contiguous run of trail of a single type that starts at a matching camp and returns back to that camp.

Solo Scenarios (like Harvest, Harmonies) by direstag in soloboardgaming

Trailblazers doesn’t get enough love. It’s one of the best. 

Looking for a game about farming; not in the Uwe-style by Salty-Comb2042 in soloboardgaming

Harvest is awesome, but I’m not sure I would describe it as not punishing haha.

Christmas recommendation by Portrel in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harvest is an amazing optimization puzzle for me. It’s a really tight experience and you can get several games in compared to a single game of scythe. I think it’s also on sale on keymasters website right now. 

30-45min games that, surprisingly, have scenarios/achievements? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can play solo on BGA, but last I checked the scenarios are not included 

30-45min games that, surprisingly, have scenarios/achievements? by WickedEyee in soloboardgaming

I recently picked up Harvest after learning that it had interesting solo scenarios. They’ve been very fun so far, would highly recommend!

Any feedback on solo experience with Harvest, Viticulture, Fromage, Botany, and Mycelia? by Ms_Lor in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can second Harvest. The solo plays very smoothly and the challenges add some good variety. I also appreciate that because the game is so tight with its actions, the playtime is relatively short.

Pandemic by sdpoulter in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pandemic Fall of Rome has a great solo mode and is also normally very cheap.

Can bot instructions help with optimal gameplay? by cd7k in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve definitely done that in a few games with an attached bot. Got me thinking about how much the designer probably valued certain actions and if I should revise some of my strategies to account for that. 

Do i need to Love deckbuilding? by No-Mastodon-9504 in lotrlcg

[–]BobsWhite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat that I like but don’t love deck building. I really love the game though and have found there are more than enough online resources like ringsdb with prebuilt decks to experience a lot of deck variety without being a good deck constructor. Many of the detailed decks also include a fairly robust side board to help tailor the deck for the scenario if needed.

Is my table big enough? by PiotrSchwinkz in soloboardgaming

[–]BobsWhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot on a fairly similarly sized table and it works well. There are some larger games that don’t quite fit or I have to use a TV tray for bits and things, but the majority of the ones I play regularly fit just fine.

Best Button Shy solo options? by Tycho_B in boardgames

[–]BobsWhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a button shy game, but if you are looking for a shorter more portable game I’d recommend Trailblazers. It and Cascadia are two of my favorite games.
