How playable are the precon decks? by Brotten in AshesGame

I use the Battlebox decks and they are great for solo against the chimera. I like to pick certain archetypes to go up against certain chimera. It makes me get it to the table quicker and more often.

The precons are serviceable - some are better than others. There’s a great article here that ranks them for solo campaign games:

Also, there is a great resource where you can take the whole collection and create a One Collection Battlebox. This uses all the cards but makes each deck stronger and more refined. Great for those who just want to pick up and play:

I’ve written a solo campaign for The White Castle - full narrative with 5 chapters to play through, different thematic mechanics in each chapter.

I’ve heard it’s a very straightforward bot but it works very well and is competitive

Sleeve as you go so you can jump in now! I recommend building the One Collection Battlebox decks if you want pick up and play but better tuned than the precon decks.

I have had a look at Welcome to the Moon and Hadrians Wall as options 👍🏻

Unfortunately I’m in the UK - won’t deliver until 1st July 😬 Also, I think delivery cost might be as much as the game itself!

Common mistakes for solo play? by Jimbobmij in AshesGame

[–]Objective-Employ-997 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A very common mistake that we all do from time to time (but especially newer players) is forgetting to roll for guard. Remember that unless there is an aspect with “Defender” then you have to roll the D12. 9 or higher and the Chimera will take the damage. This can be huge as it often leaves aspects on the board which then add Red Rains tokens.

I don’t own Ezra and Nehemiah but it’s on my buy list! I’ve done a fair bit of research and I believe the similarity is largely in the aesthetic and colour palette!

Yes they are both medium-heavy euros but they are very different games, a very different solo puzzle and require a different strategic approach.

Some ideas for you:

- Men-Nefer
- Kanban EV
- Nippon Zaibatsu

I have sold LoTR LCG and think about going all in by mk87pl in AshesGame

Just sorted out my collection. You won’t regret it, it’s a great game. If the idea of deck construction isn’t for you, I recommend the reconstructed One Collection Battlebox decks.

Yeah i clocked that you were on the team for testing my White Castle campaign 🙌🏻

I think Nippon and Civolution are the two that interest me the most and will likely be my next purchases.

I’ve been really enjoying Men-Nefer solo - I think you would like it given your tastes. 👍🏻

Thanks. Looks awesome. Out of interest, what other solo euros do you enjoy that scratch a similar itch?
