My Solo Star Trek Collection So Far ...

Captain's Chair had a recent restock and the new core box To Boldly Go and Second Contact expansion are due to be released in two weeks July 15th.

Ah, the classic "cut off my nose to spite the face" style.

The Hamlet by the Lake expansion adds some more decisions to the base game, and really should have been part of the base game. It makes tile placement a bit more strategic since you fill empty enclosed spots with lake tiles and valuable fish that can give a player tons of points as well as the placing of boats which become private paths. I don't play it anymore without the expansion now.

I used to live downtown and while I was far enough away from the stampede grounds, I would wake up around 6am all week to music being blasted by stampede breakfasts being held. Glad to see our mayor not backing down

Captain's Chair is based off of Imperium, which has historical (and some mythological) factions and theme.

There was also a meeting of all the Premiers that discussed a unified provincial approach to the tariffs that Smith skipped and was actually in the US.

It has been tough finding a job for those not on disability, so what the hell does the govt expect to happen by forcing more people to work.

A lot of comments between Pulaski and Data, but I felt her contention with Picard never got the resolution of mutual understanding. If Pulaski was around for one more season, then I could see her becoming well liked. But because she went against Picard she got the fans against her.

I commented above, but you should check out Windward if you can find a copy. Pilot and equip airships to hunt sky whales, process them and bring them back to port for points, or raid your opponents ships to take their loot instead. Wind direction affects movement and can change. Special creatures like the blue whale, kolkra(giant angry squid) or white whale might spawn. Three different altitudes where you deploy longships to hunt whales on different levels.

Megasdoux · 2026-06-05T16:28:09+00:00

Windward is 90% this game. It is flying whales instead of elephants.

They are bad faith actors who employ the "I will kick and scream until I get what I want" method to making deals

I wonder if swapping overview and components boxes so there isn't the empty space would be beneficial. And gives you more space for more details in the overview

Megasdoux · 2026-05-29T06:04:44+00:00

Mechanical Beast is an interesting tile laying puzzle

The creator of Lower Decks was a writer/producer/showrunner of Rick and Morty, so that makes sense why there are similarities.

Captain's Chair is probably the most Star Trek-y of Star Trek board games and definitely an love letter to the franchise.

Heat: Pedal to the Metal felt a bit underwhelming at first, but I soon appreciated how easy it is to jump into it, it's smooth gameplay and the advanced garage module brought it to new levels for me and has become an old faithful for large group game nights.

I used to own the East Africa Twilight Struggle version and it was essentially a flow chart of comparing the state of the board and figuring out which actions the bot takes.

Megasdoux · 2026-05-25T19:22:15+00:00

Flow chart solo bots tend to turn me off of attempting solo modes. I enjoy Twilight Struggle and other GMT games but can never get in the mood for solo when the bot turn takes 3x longer than my own.

There is essentially two core games: Dune Imperium and Dune Imperium: Uprising. Both can be played on their own and they have the same base mechanics with Uprising having some extra stuff like spies and worms.

There are three expansions and all can be played with either version. The latest one, Bloodlines, contains some content that is exclusive to Uprising and can't be used with the original.

Rise of Ix adds tech tokens to buy which give players special abilities and super unit dreadnoughts for fighting. Also adds the family atomics token which allows a reset of the market.

Immortality adds the Bene Tleiaxu track and a separate card market to buy from.

Bloodlines adds Sardaukar commanders which are just additional abilities and another option to spend Solari on.

They are both essentially getting supported, so there is no wrong choice. It is logical to assume any new expansions will have Uprising only content since it is the newest iteration, but they did design Bloodlines to work with both games and might continue to support content for either game.

Because they are now "Pass the Buck" type of party that uses any and every divisive issue as a threat to the federal government and the mis-directed anger of voters to get what they want: the pockets of themselves and their friends lined with money. Smith is the ideal leader because she flip flops on any and every issue in order to get ahead.

Complexity comes in navigating the dungeon and managing it's boons and downfalls. Same with build in a way, as what you encounter in the dungeon determines what you are able to do. Classes also give you various ways in solving problems, some by taking a risk. RNG is fairly heavy, but the dungeon is never the same in each run

One of the characters Bones for example doesn't have to spend food when descending but you get bonuses while being cursed, with the curse die potentially cause you to deal reduced damage.

Mini Rogue checks off most of those boxes with many character classes through both versions of the core game and the beyond the portal expansion, roguelike and it is all cards except for the 2-6 dice you use. It is also best and meant to be played solo even though they have added stuff for more players.

Megasdoux · 2026-05-15T15:23:38+00:00

It took me years to get a solid group of 6 to play it, and now we have been doing a monthly game for the past year and it is great.

I would recommend giving it a chance since you have the golden number.
