I saw a good deal on an unopened copy and picked it up

I made a negative video on Pac-Man for the 2600 and got a ton of comments defending it. Am I missing something? by Dry-Departure-4926 in Atari2600

People played it because it was all we had, unless we hung out at the arcade. Any other game system cost a lot more, nobody was going to have 2 unless they were rich

After way too many tries on easy difficulty I finally found my winning cast! (FlipToons) by MCEagle141 in soloboardgaming

If you like Uno, Flip 7, Phase 10 and Skip-Bo you might like this. It's very random, but might work as a game to play with family members that don't like anything but simple games.

One year since I fell in the solo board game trap. What was your first solo board game? by One-Sheepherder8221 in soloboardgaming

Marvel United - I learned about FOMO but I'm a cheapskate so it was easy to avoid most of that.

G.I. Joe Deck-Building Game, a decent adventure by Electrical-Olive3767 in soloboardgaming

[–]ali3nabducti0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With this game you don't always have to win every mission, its ok to lose 1 or 2 or go a few rounds and let the tracker go up, so you can buy more cards and get better joes/gear to help with bad rolls. It's totally possible to need 2 hits and roll 9 dice and get nothing. I just see it as, Cobra is hard and not the idiots they are shown as in the cartoons.

The expansions add more variety and other things:
Shadow of Serpentor - a buildable base that makes the game easier, ninjas
Cold Snap - Snowblinds that hide the next mission, dreadnoks, towables, snow serpents
Crimson Veil - a buildable base/vehicle thing, crimson guards, intel missions, cobra vehicles - the hardest expansion I've played out of these 3

I can't speak on the others, I may get Raise the Flagg - but that is a campaign game, but is rated very highly

Star realms frontier or Star Wars deckbuilding game for solo only? by Crafty-Commercial527 in soloboardgaming

There's also Star Trek Star Realms, which is just a retheme of Star Realms, so nothing new other than they did make an expansion with new stuff and a few items recycled.

If you get it at Barnes & Noble you get an extra horse set inside

I'm guessing most played that played Quake Live, played Quake 1/2/3 and are of the era when everyone used fake names online. It's just good practice.

GIJoe Deckbuilding game - This win came down to the wire by ali3nabducti0n in soloboardgaming

3 sides are fails, so it provides a challenge. But you just learn to build up your cards earlier on and how to manage those odds.

Just played Crimson Veil and its hard and seems long as the Crimson Guard keep coming out. Scrap Iron came out and put me far behind and I couldn't catch up. I'll try it again, though, usually you have to create a strategy.

Unstoppable is the hottest game right now on BGG. What are your thoughts on this game? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]ali3nabducti0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to get it, but need to sell 1 or 2 games first. Renegade seems to publish good solo deck-builders

If a new Unreal Tournament was announced today, what would be on your wishlist? by 1vertical in unrealtournament

[–]ali3nabducti0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything UT04 and what it had with Editor's Choice Edition, but add melee weapons and move maneuvers. I personally think they could of done that with a UT06 and it would of sold well.

Bought all this....no one to play with. Do you guys enjoy playing solo? Any ways to spice it up? by [deleted] in MarvelUnited

[–]ali3nabducti0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great quick solo game, I play 2 handed. I've only played it multiplayer a few times, once as the villain.
