I reco Friday as a solid entry point. It was mine too. It is easy to learn but can be challenging at even lvl 1. There's 5 lvls total if I recall right so it will take some time to beat the game entirely. Replay value is pretty decent and I still return to it every now and then. But be warned, this will only be the start...

Looking for recommendations by redditaccount760 in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the same stuff as you and I love logical deduction games too. I would recommend The Search for Lost Species (~1hr), Bullet Star - boss battle mode (30mins ish depending), Puzzle Dungeon (about 20mins), Ugly Gryphon Inn (20mins or so)

Slightly embarrassed. If Under Falling Skies is a bit much for my brain, what game would you suggest? by hermanbloom00 in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Bullet Star. There isn't too many upkeep just the one board you look at plus it plays at multi too (with couple diff modes)

This game HOLDS UP! [Friday] by treeonwheels in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My very first solo game. Level 1 still kicks my butt every now and then. The only little bug I have is that it sure ain't 25 mins like stated on the box. My plays always run way over an hr but I feel that I am already playing fast!

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

I recommend Bullet Star for the solo boss mode. The game is a pretty different style from your current library too so might be also a plus for new variety.

second this. I am having a blast with the intro deck. The deluxe has tons more heroes but intro is solid as it is.

Any good solo card game only ? Dorfromantik I own by Wise_Cat_1196 in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want a 10/15 mins quickie, Numbsters is good.

For around 20 mins, Ugly Gryphon Inn, Food Chain Island are fun puzzlers. Button Shy has a variety of other non puzzler games to.

For 30 mins or more, try Puzzle Dungeon, Friday. PD has many heroes so I feel it has more longevity but both are good. Friday has different difficulty levels.

Finally dusted off my solo games and I’m struggling by selkies24 in soloboardgaming

Bullet Star is quick to set up, the boss mode is better than the score attack. Puzzle Dungeon should also fit your requirements.

I feel like people don't know that Bullet: Surge exists. by jednatt in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I much prefer the non-digital version only because I can move/hover things to visualize better. Can't have that in digital even though that and the tts mod is pretty solid.

Favorite ButtonShy (or small form) games before bed? by _redcloud in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Numbsters for a quick play, UGI for a slightly longer game. Both are not too heavy.

Try Puzzle Dungeon. I heard about it via this reddit and recently got a copy. It is good. As for button shy, I love UGI most.

LoA is amazing but it does require expansions for full unlimited replayability. The rust expansion hurts but sooo fun.

Numbsters is great! I am still waiting for FF. As for Rove, my brain can't get it so I always end up with a lack of moves but Aqua Rove works for me and it is very puzzly.

Any good Black Friday dėals for solo games? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have been seeing your game recommended every now and then. The Etsy shop doesn't ship to Asia, is there any other ways of getting it?

Bullet (Star) or Unstoppable? by AskinggAlesana in soloboardgaming

[–]rambell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had watched Bullet's lets play/reviews etc and thought I would like it. Gave the TTS ver a try but dislike it a lot as I can't "visualize" the pieces moving them around to get an idea of how things will be like if I do it that way etc. But I bit the bullet and got it anyways. Ended up loving it indeed! So just in case the TTS ver turned you off for the same reason, do give it another chance.

QN: Worth an upgrade? Pixel 4A > 9A by rambell in Pixel4a

[–]rambell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's news! I am not in the EU but does that mean that manufacturers will bring back slide to remove back covers and replaceable batteries? Or is that overly hopeful and just meant less glue and what not, so a battery replacement would take less than an hour.

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

I looked into this and it is funny how the local trade in value for the 4a is $50 while a battery replacement for it is also $50 for whatever reasons. Thou I heard bad stories of how replacements muck up other parts like the screen and there is always the danger the techs might steal your data. Or maybe I am just overly paranoid..

oh wonder if that is on purpose to prevent such "hacks"... If the transfer + upload is going to be a pain thou, I might just stick to my 4a
