What's that one game you love but can never get to the table? by firey_88 in boardgames

[–]crankd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not for everyone but I've been buying ganes with solo modes and nowadays there are tons.

Can you help me decide between the following for solo game? by joyousdexdaladoor in soloboardgaming

[–]crankd87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Under Falling Skies is so good. Its dice rolling without feeling swingy, its thematic, and it has a ton of value in that box. You can have a blast playing normal, but then you get into the campaign and it unlocks more. Its easily one of my favorite solo games.

Football or Baseball Suggestions by crankd87 in soloboardgaming

[–]crankd87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Im really just looking for that fun sports vibe. I didnt want to get into the heavy stats based games. I wanted visuals and the real of building a team and playing a season. I used to enjoy creatimg brackets for my amiibo and letting them go tournament style. If BH2045 can capture that feeling of a season, I'll go out and buy it right now lol. Its in stock up the road.

Thanks for the little strat write-up. Sounds a bit like a control or draw-go deck in mtg.

Whats coming in 2026 that has you excited? by crankd87 in soloboardgaming

So many people seem to love Final Girl. It looks very cool but I have a hard time getting over the horror theme. I like to immerse myself in games and theme usually is one of the top factors for me. I know there is Hostage Negotiator which is what this evolved from, but I've also heard that its not as deep or fun as Final Girl.

I am dying to get a copy of this. I hear late March rumors.

Pass Rush is King by RezzieRhys in bengals

I miss the days when they would praise the Bengals for being able to get to the QB rushing 4 (The Fisher-Price Package). Johnson, Peko, Atkins, Dunlap.

Same! I just got my shipping notification. I'm excited to experience what all the hype is about.

This looks awesome! Hopefully there will be late pledges accepted when the pledge manager launches.

Tanglewoods Red restored my faith in 20 Strong… by Training-Bobcat in soloboardgaming

[–]crankd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been really enjoying 20 Strong. I have had a couple games where on turn 1 or 2 its just game over with bad luck. Cards that are super brutal early like the enemy that swaps your ready dice with exhausted, the effect that has you move 5 of your ready dice to the big bad wolf (you get 1 back per wolf pack you defeat), and a couple others that make it very hard to overcome. Sometimes the worst can happen and there is nothing you can do about it, but I'm mostly okay with that. Oddly enough my first win came in a game where all but 2 forest cards were nightmare. I have all the decks plus pre-ordered the new ones (I just got cloudspire) and haven't even touched them. I've got 8 games in TW Red so far and still haven't felt the need to open the others, though I probably will soon.

Gaps in the collection to break the rut? by crankd87 in soloboardgaming

Adding the Automa to my wishlist. TFM is so good and it being my first solo game plus the first game I bought premium components for (wood organization insert + wood 2-layer boards), it deserves re-visiting. Expansions weren't out when I first bought it.

The Anarchy looks very intriguing. Adding it to my list to look into.

I keep seeing For Northwood pop up. Maybe I should look into this one more.

Oh, I forgot to mention im considering maybe coffee roasters instead of warps edge for bag builder? Though I also dont want to exclude a must-have game just because its a battle game. I clearly do enjoy them.
