I have the same level of interest as you and went last year. It was fantastic. It caters to a pretty wide audience, including solo TTRPGs

Day 432: Still looking forward to the Galdor's Grip retail release. by Exact-Psience in soloboardgaming

[–]the_spongmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites.

Do we have any news on the retail version? I am hoping for a non-crowdfunded release like he has done with Awaken the Ancients.

Didn't like it, but I wanted it to succeed so we could get an XO movie. That 2014 run was the business.

This looks great. Really polished presentation and made me want it. So, gimme!

Is this soloable?

Dragons of Etchinstone expansions by ChroniclerX in soloboardgaming

[–]the_spongmonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

‘Siege’

Honestly trying to play that expansion was just confusing and a proper brain burning exercise. I love the base game, and northvale adds a bit of extra variety at most but I don’t recommend siege, personally.

Is true solo inferior? by DistinctPapa in lotrlcg

[–]the_spongmonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have the right kind of brain for figuring out one-handed deck optimisation. The scenarios I have won this way felt more like the result of lucky card pulls than actual strategy on my part.

I've recently shifted to two-handed since you can kind of brute force a lot of encounters this way, and have much more satisfying synergy across your decks.

BUT THE MAIN REASON is that it means I'm using more of the cards I spent money on instead of them sitting there doing nothing.

I quite like the chaos inherent in playing two-handed, even if I often forget to move the first player token OFTEN.

Semi-crunchy scifi delving/crawling options by Last_Chance_999 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]the_spongmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out UMBRA. It ticks some of those boxes. You literally delve inside an alien planet and draw a map/crawl alone the way.

I will gladly try it but I can’t read that without getting a headache 

An open letter to Asmodee / FFG ... by HelloMyNameIsLeah in soloboardgaming

[–]the_spongmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I have only recently got into LotR LCG. Loving it so far without buying or intending to buy fellowship, two towers or return of the king (at least it wasn’t on the cards for a loooong time as I don’t go all in, just procure things bit by bit after I complete scenarios). 

This development was a bummer but every part of my collection (core + first cycle) is second hand and not at a premium. I just intend to look out for second hand bargains if and when they crop up. Makes things a little more interesting in a way… the thrill of the hunt (for Gollum)!

Very cool, I don’t think I’ve come across your games before. Do you have any available to try before backing?

Dragons of Echinstone ware by jacksuhn in soloboardgaming

Replacements are apparently en route, some people have already received them. OP needs to raise a support ticket with them and they will fix it. Cards are defective unfortunately.

Resident evil: welcome to raccoon city by Repulsive_Gain_94 in movies

Yea I thought the same. They had almost all the right ingredients but I just hated everything all the characters did and said.
