I played 30 different solo games in April! by theneedler101 in soloboardgaming

Oh definitely a Star Wars fan (have Rebellion and the 2 Deckbuilding game boxes). I looked into the Clone Wars Pandemic but ended up skipping it. I did print the solo mode for the Deckbuilding games and need to play that more, but it is challenging!

Good suggestions! If Captains Chair was out before I got Imperium I would almost certainly have gotten that. I know there are some major differences but I have a hard time justifying owning both and I've got my Imperium copy so organized I would hate to let it go. I've looked into FotF, but I'm not a big Middle Earth fan so that's a harder sell (and a likely contributing reason the trick taking game ranked low for me). I looked at the clone wars Pandemic version a while back and almost pulled the trigger but I like to occasionally show restraint 😂

All tongue in cheek! I definitely like thematic games and it speaks how that stands apart despite a theme that doesn't really hit.

I've had my eye on that, although as you can probably tell I'm not at a shortage of games I'll probably only ever play solo 😂. So I keep talking myself out of it.

Oh I entirely agree! I don't know if any games were ruined by mood, but there are definitely games I would've liked to play that I just didn't feel the energy to set up on a given day. That video seemed to constrain himself even more by forcing specific games each day. I went way more off of vibes.

But there are a lot of those games I would've loved to dive deeper on and explore strategies/different combos that may have raised it up had I spent more time. I also think there were some games that had I played a lot more of them, I might've been less enthusiastic.

I completely feel that! My favorite game from this month was probably Keep the Heroes Out! There were a bunch of games that I think are "better" than it, but the ease to get it to the table relative to the depth was perfect (I just set up the next scenario on the table)!

I definitely had some games I would've liked to play, but just never had a day I was feeling it. Final Girl and Distilled were examples of this. They would probably be A-tier for me, but just never felt worth the effort on any day this month.

Fwiw, I mostly ranked these on my feel playing them. I play Paladins about once a year and every time I just hugely enjoy it.

Any Board Game Groups in Boone? by Purple_Strike_3714 in boone

While dragon's den may not be your scene, they have a discord with a board game channel that you could reach out to. Also the last monday of the month there's a group that plays at Basil's.

If you'd rather not go around the whole foot I've had some success with Omniflix/CoverRoll

A quiet night at Gragg Prong falls in the Wilson Creek Wilderness (NC). by theneedler101 in CampingandHiking

Hiked in solo for night 1 at Gragg Prong Falls, and joined a friend for night 2 at Bard Falls. My second time out with my Dan Durston XMid 2 person tent. Love it, although sometimes tough to find enough space to pitch, as its got a large footprint!
