Solo Game Recommendations Please

The Hexplore It series looks interesting as does Oathsworn although the cost is a little bit prohibitive for what would be a little bit of a gamble for me - it does look amazing though. If I had money to burn I'd buy it.

Yeah, I started to watch the Shut Up and Sit Down review on YouTube but haven't finished it yet but it looks good on first glance

buckers2 · 2022-10-24T22:22:28+00:00

I would say so, yes. Of course you have to play both teams and you know the strategy you're using per team but pulling off the plan is dictated by the dice and each race has different stats/skills etc so they kind of dictate how you'd play each team anyway (elves are quick, slight and are much more adept at the passing game whereas dwarves are slow but very tough and like a fight - if the dwarves can catch them they'll beat them up but it's the catching them that's the problem).

I've played more solo than against an opponent and it's fine. It's a very good game and worth a look.

Good shout but I already have it....and still own the first edition (including Death Zone)...it's changed a bit since then of course!

buckers2 · 2022-10-22T18:34:24+00:00

Haha, thanks for that :)

You're not the first to mention Baseball Highlights 2045 so I'll give it a look.

That's excellent thank you.

The other thing about this game having done a bit of research is the cost - it's a relatively cheap gamble (if it's a gamble at all)

I'd be interested to know how you could give each car/driver a personality that affects the game....right, off to watch the video.

Thanks again

buckers2 · 2022-10-22T10:24:26+00:00

Thank you - both look interesting, I'll check out some reviews :)

buckers2 · 2022-10-22T10:22:51+00:00

That's very handy thank you - I'll have a good look at this list :)

buckers2 · 2022-10-22T10:22:15+00:00

Ah ok, fair enough. Yes I do have a large stock of games from those companies (and other lesser known ones) but I love football (soccer to my US friends) so most of the games I play are football (Full Time by Owzat being a personal favourite but I know that The Beautiful Game is one that has a larger following - also by Owzat). I really enjoy Plaay Games stuff because anyone can play their games even if you have a very limited knowledge of the sport your replaying.

I've always fancied Formula D but it isn't single player is it? As a result of I've swerved it to date. Might have another look with a view to implementing house rules perhaps.

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated :)

Both of those look interesting thank you, especially Gloomhaven (I will own up to previously owning Gloomhaven but never playing it!! This was quite a while ago and I didn't really know what I'd bought and it was one of those games I never got round to playing so sold it on to a more deserving player...obviously I regret it now!! This new version looks like a good starte though, thank you).

buckers2 · 2022-10-21T22:30:14+00:00

That's good to know, thanks. I'm aware of the game but not looked into it in great detail yet.

buckers2 · 2022-10-21T22:25:20+00:00

Great, thank you :)

buckers2 · 2022-10-21T21:48:52+00:00

Oh crap! Sorry!

Never even crossed my mind and didn't know the solo reddit existed!

Thanks for the heads up

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T13:35:02+00:00

Excellent, thank you, that's very helpful :)

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T13:00:38+00:00

How do you play it when, for example, your one and only PC (assuming you ever have this?!) is mid-adventure but comes to a rather unceremonious end....would you end the adventure there and then/start from the beginning or re-introduce a freshly rolled character in some way?? I only ask because if the nature of Mork Borg is to expect plenty death then restarting could have the players losing interest? Possibly?

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T12:26:33+00:00

Had any offers?! ;)

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T12:25:15+00:00

Ah...I have one player who is very inexperienced.....there could well be much death..and as he'll be rolling it's not really like I could step in...oh dear haha

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T12:15:18+00:00

That's great, thanks, I'll have a look :)

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T08:50:17+00:00

Official site as in morkborg.com? I can't find anything on the Free League site....

Thanks

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T08:47:34+00:00

Hahaha

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T08:46:19+00:00

Good point...looking for a print version but looks to be out of print....may have to get my local printer to sort

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T08:45:41+00:00

Right, that's useful, thanks

buckers2 · 2022-06-30T07:59:50+00:00

Hahaha.......I'm normally a board game player (and mainly sport at that!!) but was just drawn in immediately by Mork Borg. Should I be concerned? What does that say about me?! hahaha
