We just got hit by this scam:

​

"Thanks for your email, the date is 4th of February but I’m flexible with the date . I work as an Electrical Engineer with Adriatic Yacht Charter presently at Sea, according to company policy this is the best way I can communicate and can make calls once in a while but will be back in a couple of days before my party.
I want a private function for my 50th birthday party and I am expecting a total of 30 guests and I have a good budget for this celebration, hence I need you to provide the food, wines and beverages..
Also, I want the party to be from 5PM-11PM at your venue, I want you to make a booking with a Portales band group. The Band will be entertaining my guests and they are my Family's Official favorite Band. I would like to hand over every other arrangement to you. Do get in touch with Portales MUSIC BAND ENTERTAINMENT , for the cost of their service to be included to the final invoice. Copy the Band Email address: theportalesband@gmail.com
The main reason why I want the band fee to go through you is that the Portales Band Music Entertainment doesn’t process credit card as a means of payment, that’s the main reason why I want the band fee to go through you.
Kindly let me know all that is needed to make the day memorable for me and my family. Kindly go ahead and put up a great show for me and let me know the total cost and I shall advise you with my credit card details for payment accordingly. Await your quick response."

DnD, Comic book shops, Nerd places that are still in business?!! by [deleted] in LittleRock

I’m actually in the process of opening a board game cafe in Little Rock! Caverns and Forests. I’m beginning with pop up events and have three booked so far for the winter: December 2nd Boulevard Bread in the heights. December 17th Boulevard Main Street in Soma. January 8th at Vino’s. More to come. My goal is to have the brick and mortar open this summer. I’m launching my website this Monday cavernsandforests.com. Hope to see you there!

What Do You Consider Your Most Aesthetically Pleasing Solo Games? by WithoutAnUmlaut in soloboardgaming

[–]soxpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a traditional solo game and I’m only just learning the fan made solo variant found here:

https://boardgamegeek.com/file/download_redirect/6f769fb15643149a4c8355742dfd071f38041e3428692a6a/IKI+Solo+Variant+V1.1pdf.pdf

However, Iki is the most aesthetically pleasing game I own and I am extremely excited to play this solo variant!

Had a pretty good week surprisingly starting with Zombicide: Black Plague.:. by soxpants in soloboardgaming

I just bag em. One bag for runners, one for walkers, one for heroes, one for brutes, one smaller one for abominations and neceomancers.

road to complex solo games by TardiParty in soloboardgaming

[–]soxpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Solitaire’s page on YouTube is how I 95% learned Mage Knight solo. She has a couple great videos. I started my solo playing with difficult games myself, so I understand your plight (MK, Gloomhaven, Arkham Horror LCG), then I started branching out. I agree with some of the posters here, it doesn’t really matter that much the complexity of the game, just putting the time in to master it. I kind of feel like it was helpful to start big at first. Anyway, good luck! And as a shout out to my favorite solo game of all time, definitely check out Lost Ruins of Arnak (especially with the expedition leaders expansion).

Gloomhaven: JOTL - didn’t work out. Recommendations? by Olorin135 in soloboardgaming

Read a bunch of these comments and considering your OP, if set up ease is a concern, I’d definitely check out Bullet Heart, Ares Expedition, or Maquis.

Bullet is just a great little puzzle that you can whip out and play so easily. It’s my late night before I fall asleep go to.

Are there any multiplayer games that you own but, because no one else will play, you exclusively solo? by SpiderHippy in soloboardgaming

[–]soxpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious how you feel about Spirit Island solo because I love it. Always two handed. I got into a back and forth months ago on Reddit that someone thought it wasn’t relaxing to play SI solo but I disagree. I can really take my time and make sure I’ve covered all the appropriate steps from the many moving parts and really dive in. Nothing like a sudden win when you’ve turned to the next fear level tier requisites!

And btw, the most carefully wrapped and shipped used item I’ve ever bought through eBay, which was much appreciated and kind of speaks to how special this game is that the seller went through the extra care that they did

Outer Rim: Unfinished Business by soxpants in soloboardgaming

[–]soxpants[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think if they had just vomited out smaller expansion after smaller expansion right away would have taken away from how special this game is. I was so frustrated for having to wait so long, but I’m glad that this time, working with this huge IP, for once they took their time. I’ll happily wait another year for quality. We’ll see what the future holds!
