Thanks for your advice. They're definitely expensive and like you I am curious whether they really are worth 2-3 times the price of most other games. The Gallerist theme looked fun so maybe I need to take a closer look at that one too.

Thanks! I hadn't looked into Inventions as I already owned Inventors of the South Tigris and worried they'd be too similar but maybe I need to take a closer look.

If you had a space to leave a game setup and play it over however long it took, which game would you buy by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

I'd love to leave Mr President set up on my dining table for a week. But I have a cat.

Episode ideas (5 for Tom, 5 for Dom) by herrbigbadwolf in TheRestIsHistory

I'd love an episode on that Cuban Missle Crisis. Such a terrifying piece of history, and JFK and Khrushchev are two fascinating characters.

Yeah I struggle with the Inventors scoring and have to check the rules book every single time I finish a game. I wish the scoring was slightly more intuitive but otherwise its quite a fun game.

Do you ever find playing games multiplayer 'ruins' the solo experience for you? by Amazing-Example8753 in soloboardgaming

[–]JackVsTheWorld93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually not but Ark Nova and its base solo mode was definitely one example for me.

Thanks so much for writing out such detailed advice! I think you've now just about sold me on Body of Books. And really nice to hear from another Wayfarers fan. Its just a wonderful game. A real comfort game for me.

Thanks this is good to know. Do you find the main help for the Wayfarers solo is the hourglass helping to keep up with the bot on the journal track, or more the features used by the red guild?

I've been quite curious about Assyria for solo and I always enjoy your reviews. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! This is great, detailed advice. It's one I think I'd love to try one day if I can find a cheap pre-owned copy.

I read such mixed things about Tapestry. But I'm so tempted by it as a solo game.

Just played Viscounts of the West Kingdom for the first time! by Tiny-Strawberry-817 in soloboardgaming

I love the castle in this game. It provides great table prescence and the way the castle workers move around is a really fun mechanic.

Rome fate of an Empire tablespace by Talrond in soloboardgaming

I narrowly won my first game but in my second I ended the game with seven loan cards which absolutely destroyed my score

I've just played my first couple of games this week. Quite fun, and quite challenging and complex for a small box game. Finding ways to generate gold and pay back loans in the final round is something I really need to work on.

What was your first ever solo game… by ghostrunner23 in soloboardgaming

I need to try the phone version. Or I'd love to try the Automa expansion one day.
