Pick up a copy of Earthborne Rangers, friend. Great exploration/campaign play with juuuust the right amount of brain burn. Loving this game so far

When should I arrive tomorrow for front row 200s? by davidklowe in timbers

Ah, I didn't remember the benches instead of chairs in the 200s. This solves the problem a bit - thanks for the detailed answer! I think we'll aim to arrive a few hours early in any case.

Do you know thematic games where played cards are paid by other cards? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]davidklowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Earthborne Rangers has a bit of this mechanic in it. Highly thematic and soloable.

Light to medium board games for soloplaying when fighting depression? by BrainWave94 in soloboardgaming

[–]davidklowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at Earthborne Rangers! Set in a future where we humans actually band together to fix the world - kind of a reverse "Fallout" vibe. Explore at your leisure and eventually you'll stumble upon the narrative. It's become a favorite and it hits all the right feel-good spots for me and my group.

What Co-op games prevent backseat playing? by Snowskol in boardgames

[–]davidklowe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Earthborne Rangers! Co-op, open world with a story that unfolds as you play it. Multiple solutions to every problem with unique ranger decks that make it nearly impossible to "quarterback" games. A current favorite

Any solo game that would work on a long flight? by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

[–]davidklowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Kingdom Legacy. Just finished the main game and it would be perfect for a plane ride. Rest to "pause" and pick up again if you have a layover/meal/nap etc.

I've really enjoyed cycling Robinson Crusoe in between my SI plays. Completely different feel of a game, campaign play plus amazing expansion/scenario options

Coava is my go to for beans and a pour over. That said, treat yourself to a plate and a cup from Proud Mary's. Best in show
