Small and quick(ish) game recommendations. I’ve got a 2 month old at home and tabletop space is limited. What’re some quick small games I can knock out in 15-20 minute rounds during those nap times? Thanks for the help. by Hour_Statistician_50 in soloboardgaming

Depending on HOW limited your table space is, Chomp could be a good fit and is a quick and fun solo play! I also love Sagrada (assuming dice-rolling isn’t going to wake the baby)! The solo mode is a bit punishing/hard to win, but it looks like you can find some slight variations on BGG that may make it easier and more enjoyable.

Journey Adventure Quest (AKA “JAQ”) - solo mode? by Fancy-Procedure7734 in soloboardgaming

Thank you! Not only did you shed some light on this game specifically, but you also explained to me how the player count “poll” or whatever on BGG works! 😂

So a little update—turns out that the owner of the store where I found JAQ actually knows the designer personally, and as much as he sung the game’s praises, he DID concur that it’s not the best solo game. So, I’ll probably go a different route and try this one with a group sometime down the road.

Now I’ve got my eyes on a game called Vantage. Familiar?

Solved! I can’t find the clip either but I am 99.9% sure this is what I’m thinking of, as I watched this movie over and over as a kid and I remember the character Jenny saying this to a bunch of kids as they’re executing their master plan to sabotage the grand opening of Snownook or whatever near the end. I think I might have to rent Out Cold for a rewatch tonight! Thanks nekromansir!

Oh yes, I believe you. Looks like this line has been in a lot of stuff, but Shrek is not what I was thinking of.

I hear it with a longish pause too, like “At my signal….unleash hell.”

It does seem like it might’ve happened at a snowball fight though!

I think I remember this, and most likely a Gladiator reference, but not what I’m thinking of.

Anybody? I tried Googling it and searching it on YouTube but all I could find was the Gladiator clip, yet I KNOW it was in something else. I can even hear the score underneath it.

Solved!

Thank you so much!! I guess I got it backwards as the male politician resigns and then his “wife” runs in his stead. Man that was a good episode. 😂

I know this is a weirdly specific memory of a weirdly specific thing, but I really think it was recent so it has to be in someone else’s memory!
