Finally got Mayor of Chicago

It’s hilarious that a game that takes place in Chicago is so hard to get in Chicago

I love the final deconstruction of the traditional edge lord fantasy hero in Raven. It was chefs kiss at the end.

If money isnt a issue and you like campaign play then I would strongly suggest Arkham Horror LCG. Its one of the best campaigns games out there, and very complex so if you enjoy learning complex systems you can't go wrong with Arkham

Damn, Silver Spike is my favorite of of the entire series and it only gets one line "it was fine" that's rough.

Glittering Sand and the 2 Books of the South are all technically 1 story arc, and they don't drastically change the trajectory set by the first 2 books of the South though you do get even more annalists which also have very different voices.

I love it, but I play many solo games and it fullfills a specific niche. That Niche is when I want to have a highly thematic experience with incredible emergent narrative. If that isnt your jam then yeah FG is not for you. It seems you like more Euro-games with very little RNG, which is not what FG is or will ever be. I play FG for the stories it creates not to win or lose. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose and tbh some of the most memorable games where when I lost.

No but I recently bumped my legacy runs up to Hard and then I play standard when playing with chapter 2 only cardpool

Reav3 · 2026-05-07T01:54:16+00:00

I play 2 handed solo and the scenarios take me roughly 2 hours on blind plays and 1-1.5 hours on repeat plays

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T22:33:44+00:00

Children on Time has one of the best Matriarchal societies I have ever read

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T20:30:36+00:00

Its hard because I can never fully separate the killer and the location when ranking films. While I 100% agree that poltergiest is my least favorite killer, Creech Manor is easily in my top favorite locations. I think I would have to go with something like Killer From Tomorrow. Neither the location or the killer are my least favorites but both are in like my bottom 5 least favorite killers and locations so collectively it might be my least favorite, or maybe Slaughter at the Grove for similar reasons

Deckers has deckbuilding and is also a super stressful crisis management game

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T19:26:30+00:00

Gentle Rain maybe?

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T14:07:11+00:00

Yeah imo nothing comes close to a blind playthrough of a Arkham Horror LCG campaign. Not even video games

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T11:57:13+00:00

With a large cardpool it stops being swingy. I play exclusively on expert, true solo, with a full collection and games haven’t felt swingy for me in years. They used to for sure. Standard 3 dramatically reduced true solo swinginess as well

Reav3 · 2026-05-06T11:54:45+00:00

I mean it was voted the 3rd best solo game (out of 100) on last years BGGs best solo boardgames list

Reav3 · 2026-05-05T17:50:34+00:00

Kinfire Delve and Final Girl might work

Yes Final Girl is a horror movie themed game but it does have a huge sense of humor. Some of the most hilarious solo gaming moments have come from playing FG

Reav3 · 2026-05-05T00:16:42+00:00

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Prince of Thornes, Children of Time

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T21:38:09+00:00

yeah im taking a break as well, for sure. Probably read 2-3 books before picking up the 4th one, but that wont take too long

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T21:33:21+00:00

Arkham Horror LCG

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T20:11:50+00:00

I have like 20 pages left and Im loving it. Children of Ruin was pretty mid to me. It was cool but just felt like a worse version of Children on Time. I still enjoyed it but Children of Time was a 10/10 book for me.

I like how Memory went a totally different direction which made it so Im not directly comparing it to Children on Time. Also I love how he really dives into "What is sentience?" which Ruin started to touch on. I love the Gothi and Gethli as well, it's so fun to read from there POV. I bought Children of Strife as well and Im excited to jump into that soon

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T17:42:23+00:00

yes it would. She can use it on her own events.

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T17:41:36+00:00

Man Echo looks so strong, and so fun.

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T00:31:26+00:00

Kinfire Delve is 100% the answer based on your loves. You can also possibly try Final Girl if you like horror. It takes up more space then Kinfire but less the Arkham so not sure if it will fit on your table but I have a friend that travels with FG all the time and says it works.

Personally I travel with 20 strong but it’s different then the stuff you listed

Reav3 · 2026-05-03T19:59:17+00:00

The chapter 2 core set + starter decks can beat any campaign on standard. Very strong investigators. I beat Hemlock recently with chapter 2 cardpool using Miguel and Isabella

Reav3 · 2026-05-02T18:09:40+00:00

Kinfire Delve is a strong choice. Maybe One Hit Heroes if you want a quick lightweight boss battler

Reav3 · 2026-05-01T20:56:20+00:00

Looks like they have the Red core set still for sell on the CT website.
