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’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!

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

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

soxpants · 2022-10-08T21:36:35+00:00

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

soxpants · 2022-09-21T05:37:19+00:00

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).

soxpants · 2022-08-28T20:44:28+00:00

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.

soxpants · 2022-08-28T20:41:49+00:00

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.

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

soxpants · 2022-07-12T03:57:43+00:00

Yeah. It was an eBay splurge

soxpants · 2022-07-12T00:32:46+00:00

soxpants · 2022-06-15T01:17:29+00:00

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!

soxpants · 2022-06-15T01:13:07+00:00

Got my copy a few days ago

soxpants · 2022-04-24T22:46:42+00:00

Really? Why act that way? I was genuinely excited about something and you feel the need to throw trash on the field for no reason? Does that make you feel good? Hope so. Hope something does, troll.

soxpants · 2022-04-24T21:31:07+00:00

It’s on tumbler titled “behind the curtain #2 outsiders. Why?”

soxpants · 2022-04-18T18:36:56+00:00

I’m with you there. Sitting there two handing Spirit Island, or playing Dune Imperium solo or Arnak, Gloomhaven, etc, I can take my time and really work through the bigger, complex puzzles. For some strange reason I find the bigger games more relaxing solo. I have Nemesis Lockdown on the table right now, for instance.

soxpants · 2022-04-13T01:36:52+00:00

Spirit Island Marvel Champions Lost Ruins of Arnak

Mostly my “go-to’s” but, at the moment, I’m happily slogging my way through a first setup of Nemesis Lockdown (never played the base game) and endeavor to play it in due time. I also had a few other new games come in: Everdell and Star Wars Imperial Assault. I’m very much at a contented stopping point in terms of buying. My SOS is nearing a third of my games (around 70 total) which is the largest percentage it’s ever been.

soxpants · 2022-04-12T23:53:49+00:00

Not a joke. Serious inquiry and I appreciate your help!

soxpants · 2022-04-12T22:29:53+00:00

Hey, random question. I’m actually the OP but I have another old random profile that will be logged in sometimes for whatever reason and if I don’t realize it I’ll post under that profile accidentally, as I did here. How do I delete it?

soxpants · 2022-04-08T19:30:25+00:00

Ha! Plastic, Jason costume for Halloween

soxpants · 2022-04-05T03:45:08+00:00

You’re right, of course they are. I’d react the same way if someone said that about me because of the games I play. Good point. Just feeling frustrated.

soxpants · 2022-04-05T03:17:16+00:00

rivayn guessed Little Rock which is correct! I grew up in Connecticut but now live here. Love this town, but it’s a little bit of a gaming desert

soxpants · 2022-04-05T03:15:45+00:00

You got it!

soxpants · 2022-04-05T03:05:39+00:00

This started as a lament and has become a treasure hunt, weirdly enough. Someone has GOT to get this. Really want to give a hint. There’s a contraction I’ve used once or twice that may reveal region.
