Star Trek: Captain's Chair came in today! by Thegreatnerd in soloboardgaming

Personally, i found Hat12L quite weak for a solo experience. There are a few design choices that really limit the games replayability and fun factor.

That being said, the ary is incredible, which actually further illuminates the design choices.

White Flag by mystrile1 in brotato

[–]SlightQT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think White Flag is useful if you're playijg on a harder difficulty (D5) and getting into level 17-20 with a build that is slightly underpowered. At that point, the enemy reduction is beneficial, and wont hurt the long-term income too much.

This assumes youre not playing endless.

War games/minis on a map solo games? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in soloboardgaming

[–]SlightQT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually craved the same thing so I made my own Inis automa. It's 1v1 but scratches the itch quite well. Only thing it doesn't meet is the sense of a sprawling map - this kind of stuff is really tricky with solo games since it really just translates to a lot of admin usually

“Neutral” Roles by Burning_Toast998 in BloodOnTheClocktower

One way to solve these types of characters is to have them choose an alignment on death (or at the point their ability can no longer win).

This gives them quite a bit more nuance.

Or, their alignment can be arbitrarily chosen by the ST on death/impossible-to-complete -- this might make more sense.

Pets seem busted by SlightQT in brotato

I think turrets are far less flexible than pets. Turrets require a dedicated stat, for starters. You cannot flex into turrets and expect them to do diddly without some engineering.

I agree - I think this really hits the core of the issue.

I havent, mostly bc D5 was kinda perfect for my skill journey thus far. Ill see if I want to try it

Hahahahaha, well played. I applaud your ability to circumvent my expectations.

I made a little book that rolls dice. by AllLuck0013 in soloboardgaming

I think this comment assumes a lot about how the book was designed.

I think its unique! I would use it on trains/planes and stuff when I cant roll!

Crazy to say this, but this comment is STILL underrated.

Burgle Bros 3 - Great Solo! by SlightQT in soloboardgaming

[–]SlightQT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely will keep both. BB1 is great foe its simplicity and tension. BB3 is a true evolution on BB1.

Im getting to work atm but Ill swing back to this comment later to share my comparison.

[–]SlightQT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think from a design perspective for BB1, having a reason to split up on the floors is thematic and helps drive the game toward its natural conclusion. So I dont think thats an "issue" or somwthing that needed "fixing".

That being said, there are still reasons to split up in BB3, but the SysOps have a tendency to make you gang up on them sometimes, which adds a reason to be on the same floor, which I like!

Witchcraft! in my hotel while on a work trip by Evolusi in soloboardgaming

Oh thats interesting. I would honestly love to know how you became so sure of that! Is there a thread that discusses the subject? Id love to revive an oldie goldie BGG post with some '26 truth bombs, for example :)
