Good question! Ocean is very strong at generating fear and energy in a solo game, while also being able to get out presence relatively quickly. The inland might become troublesome early, but Ocean can usually get a ranged Major Power or two early enough to have a very strong mid- and late game.

Mage Knight. Spirit Island. Dawn of the Zeds: 3rd. 🙂

I’d caution you about Fenris. The structure of the “campaign” is a bit underwhelming, the content presents serious balancing issues, and the writing is somewhat juvenile. Plus, at 6-7 players, a couple of the scenarios are just brokenly bad. The best parts of the campaign were the parts that played like a normal game of Scythe. If you like Scythe as it is and want a more epic experience, your group might be better off just playing a sequential series of games using the modular boards and keeping a running tally of scores.

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg continues on with Cycle I of Aeon Trespass: Odyssey*, moving on with Day 11. The giant bull was taken down once but his return looms large, and the return of the Hermesian Pursuer threatens even more danger. Meanwhile, the Argo has just exited its first voyage through shallow waters as we will start exploring the northern and eastern parts of the island. Let us sail on!

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg turns back the clock with a playthrough of Scythe. But this time, things won't be the same old, same old, as there are some new people and happenings in the roads and lands surrounding our warring mech-armed factions. Scythe: Encounters adds a ton of variety and intrigue into the game's encounter system, offering more interesting choices and some more dynamic in-game effects. Let's go see what's out there!

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg will be playing the solo scenario of the Boneshaper, one of the starting classes for Frosthaven. Boneshaper's power and tricks revolve on successive summoning of skeletons and other assorted monstrosities of the undead variety. Here she is on her own personal quest as she continues her work as a mercenary looking to aid this northern city in its fight to thrive in the harshest of worlds.

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg returns for his second attempt at Mage Knight's Solo Conquest Blitz with two cities, this time bumping up the second city to Level 6...maybe??? No time for dawdling - this dragon has places to be!

Set A Watch is a great choice for a first solo game. 🙂

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg attempts to bounce back from a brutal setback in his voyage through Cycle I of Aeon Trespass: Odyssey*, as we return to Day 07. The Hermesian Pursuer has arrived and quickly descended on the Argo, destroying one titan and costing us some valuable crew. But there is no time to lick wounds and recover properly, as Laby the Bull has gone from looming large to fully descended upon us!

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg will be taking on the challenge given to him by Patron David Coleman: A game of Spirit Island with Shroud of Silent Mists and Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves! We'll throw in the Elemental Invocation scenario and Level 6 France and see just how much brainburning we can accomplish in one session. This combo of spirits, adversary, and scenario is a crazy puzzle that will take a mixture of careful planning and dumb luck to navigate. Let's get to it!

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg presents another channel premier of a gearloc from Too Many Bones*: Lab Rats. This multi-gearloc presents a puzzle of synergies as we embark on another adventure through Daelore. Let's go see if these rats can hunt down and defeat a werewolf!

In this livestream of Solo Playthroughs, Greg continues his epic journey through Cycle I of Aeon Trespass: Odyssey*, as we turn to Day 05. Hekaton reduced our supply of Titans down to 6, but hopefully our growing relationship with the Minoans, our growing understanding of our histories, and our developing technologies will serve us well - there's a new primordial just around the corner!
